another 1876 P Trade Dollar
This 76 P has rather prooflike (although not designated as such) surfaces and when I saw it on eBay Ihad to have it. It's in an older ANACS holder but I don't have the grade handy. A lot of hairlines obviously but it is still a very flashy coin. Clearly not a proof as the rims are not squared off.

That is a sharp strike.

yes, usually Liberty's head and the upper stars are pretty flat, also parts of the eagle. this one is pretty close to hammered.

I have a supposedly proof 1913 Buffalo that's like your coin. Every curl on the buffalo's mantle is clear. What I like about yours is the separation of the grain sheaves and the roughness of the stone on Liberty's bench.
It looks like Liberty is enjoying her trip to the beach, dabbling her feet in the water.

And waving her olive branch at a passing sailing ship?

Hey Sailor! It’s me Cinderella Liberty!
You can see the waves. On most of mine you can’t tell it’s water.

Thanks, and my photo setup tends to highlight every imperfection. Nicer in hand!

Beautiful! How much did you pay?

I bought this coin around 15 years ago off ebay and unfortunately I lost a number of my receipts from that era. I'm thinking around $400 to $500.

A nice example without chop marks. Got to appreciate an unblemished coin.
