Trade Dollars
1875-S/CC T$1 FS-501 MS64 NGC. Type One Reverse. The underlying second C of the Carson City mintmark is obvious to the right of the prominent S, and part of the first C is visible to the left of the S. Both sides are silver-gold and lustrous, with pale milky lilac and ice-blue patination scattered about. The coin is well-preserved aside from a few thin marks near 900 and the D in DOLLAR. This popular and interesting variety was unknown to the numismatic fraternity until 1963, and is rarely encountered in such exemplary quality. Census: 4 in 64, 1 finer (10/16).
