Pleasing Near-Gem 1873-S Trade Dollar

1873-S T$1 MS64 PCGS. The San Francisco Mint began Trade dollar production in July 1873, and a respectable total of 703,000 coins were produced by the end of that year. As one would expect for an early S-mint issue in this series, the 1873-S was widely exported, many of the coins being subsequently melted in China or India. Uncirculated examples are rare, and this issue is one of the most difficult S-mint Trade dollars to locate in Mint State. This satiny and minimally abraded near-Gem exhibits mottled russet-brown toning. Population: 25 in 64, 4 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N2998)

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

Weight: 27.22 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
