Description
1874-S Chopmarked Trade Dollar, MS64
Rarely Seen in Mint Condition
1874-S T$1 Chop Mark MS64 PCGS. Large S. Such coins present
an interesting study case. A Chinese merchant handled this coin,
gave it a chop on Liberty's abdomen to verify its silver content,
and then what? It is interesting that the coin remained in mint
condition after handling and chopping. Usually chopmarked dollars
are found in VF-XF condition with the occasional AU. Rarely were
they set aside almost immediately after chopping and preserved in
Uncirculated grades. The surfaces on this dollar are mostly
brilliant with light accents of golden-brown around the devices.
The strike is sharp, although not quite complete, and the
all-important mint luster is frosted and uninterrupted except for a
few small abrasions scattered over both sides.Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 87036, Base PCGS# 7036, Greysheet# 7366)
