1873-S Trade Dollar, MS65
First-Year Condition Rarity

1873-S T$1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. The lustrous surfaces of this Gem first-year S-mint Trade dollar are lightly toned on each side, providing the coin with lovely eye appeal. This piece is housed in an old PCGS green-label holder with green CAC sticker, "green on green."

Population Data (5/14): PCGS shows three MS65 and one finer, an MS66. The populations in those two grades at NGC are identical. This is one of two MS65 at CAC.

Heritage Commentary: Surviving examples produced by the San Francisco Mint during the debut year of the Trade dollar series are conditionally rare in Mint State grades. This Gem specimen is among the few pieces to have reached the MS65 level or higher. The population data is identical from both PCGS and NGC, with each having awarded MS65 grades to three examples, with one finer each, MS66 pieces (4/14).

Provenance: Purchased from Harry Laibstain (7/2007).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 252Y, PCGS# 7033, Greysheet# 7361)
