Trade Dollars
1874-CC T$1 MS64+ PCGS. CAC. Tall CC. With period after FINE. The 1874-CC Trade dollar was extensively used in trade with the Orient, consuming large amounts of the nearly 1.4 million pieces struck. Surviving Mint State examples are elusive and in high demand. Most grade in the MS60 to MS63 range, with Choice coins being rare. This Plus-graded, CAC-approved near-Gem boasts a commanding advantage among its peers for quality and eye appeal, and finer examples are exceedingly rare. The strike is sharp throughout Liberty's figure and the stars, although the eagle's right (facing) leg and talons exhibit minor softness. Frosty original luster enjoys a bath of attractive olive-gold toning that deepens toward the borders. There are no significant abrasions. Population: 22 in 64 (1 in 64+), 2 finer. CAC: 5 in 64, 1 finer (11/16).
From The Sounder Collection, Part II.
