1877 Trade Dollar (T$1)

Pleasing mid-AU look with honest, even wear and wonderfully original skin. The surfaces show a warm blend of antique silver and sand-gold patina with a faint olive cast, and there’s residual luster peeking through the protected recesses to boost the eye appeal. Strike detail remains bold where it counts, and the rims are strong and problem free. A couple of small, darker specks in the obverse left field are the only distraction, noted for accuracy. Housed in a PCGS gold shield holder, this example has the wholesome, circulate-but-cared-for look we all hunt for.
