Meiji Trade Dollar Year 8 (1875) MS66 NGC, Osaka mint, KM-Y14, JNDA 1-12, J&V R2. A paired designation and denomination that has yet to be offered at this impressive Gem-level of Mint State, with perfectly toned olive-gray patination that lightly dresses the surfaces. The intricately styled motifs are essentially unparalleled in their definitive strike--the edges of the dragon's scales and the veins on the reverse leaves simultaneously rise to full and crisp completion--while also showing an enormous depth to the impression. All the while the surrounding fields maintain a total freshness in their appearance, having escaped the effects of handling for over a century. An altogether popular and well-collected trade issue in an incomparable level of certified quality.
Ex. Samuel Mills Damon Collection
Estimate: 10000-15000 USD
