75s Trade Dollar . PMD or Mint Error

#1 Unread post by Jasonkflo »

I picked up this authentic trade dollar and looking at it closer it has something going on with the wing.
It does not appear to be smashed and almost looks tiered under magnification.
Maybe its PMD but it looks to stay in the shape of the wing and nothing like I have seen before. It still has some wing detail in the stepped area.
I am hoping someone will know more .
It's A very interesting coin to me .
Other interesting features is the mint mark is quite tilted and the date is set quite high and to the right.

....... looking at your full coin image of the reverse, the "Curvature" of that upper wing you show in the close-up ..... Looks odd :think:

Pretty sure it’s real . The details are strong on the coin. It is not mushy and I have other graded coins to compare it too.

How, may I ask, can a coin be "90% counterfeit" :?:

I will get it graded for sure as I do with any raw Trade Dollar. I don’t see any issues with the date though. I have a 1875 S pcgs XF-45 to compare it to. The bottom of the 7 is the same and the 1 looks the same minus the hit at the bottom right.
Color looks normal in hand similar to another graded one I have.
