Description

1876 Trade Dollar, MS65
An Upper-End Example, Semiprooflike Reverse

1876 T$1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Type One Obverse, Type Two Reverse, the usual subtype combination. Since the Trade dollar was intended for international commerce, particularly in China, it is logical that by 1876, most production for the denomination took place in San Francisco, close to the West Coast ports. Inland Carson City struck only slightly over half a million pieces that year, while the 455,000 coins pressed by the East Coast Philadelphia Mint brought up the rear. From this last, smallest issue hails the present Gem. Both sides are brilliant, and the reverse displays noticeable mirroring in the fields. This sharply struck example has strong eye appeal, and its upper-end status is verified by the CAC endorsement. Population: 20 in 65, 9 finer (2/11).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2539, PCGS# 7041, Greysheet# 7355)

Weight: 27.22 grams
