1877-S Trade Dollar, MS66
Outstanding Luster
Conditionally Rare

1877-S T$1 MS66 NGC. Large S. Production of Trade dollars in San Francisco in 1877 was high in response to the denomination's success as an Oriental trade coin. More than 9.5 million pieces were coined, intended solely for export. A number of Uncirculated coins survive that were never shipped to China, and the 1877-S is one of the more plentiful type-coin issues in the series today. However, its availability is limited to MS64 and lower grades. Gems are rare, and finer pieces are great rarities. We have seen an MS66 or finer coin on only a dozen previous occasions during the past two decades. This Premium Gem is sharply struck, satiny, and remarkably well-preserved. The obverse displays warm gold, olive, russet, and lavender border toning around a brilliant interior, while the reverse shows the coloration more spread out. The obverse exhibits faint doubling on the ribbon. Housed in a prior generation holder.(Registry values: N7079)
