1873-CC Trade Dollar, MS64
A Rarity This Fine

1873-CC T$1 Misplaced Date, FS-301, MS64 PCGS. FS-301 shows the top of a misplaced 7 in the dentils beneath the primary 87 of the date. The Carson City Mint had little demand for silver dollar coinage until the Trade dollar was authorized -- a heavier silver dollar intended to be struck in quantity and shipped abroad for trade with Oriental merchants. Carson City struck 124,500 Trade dollars in 1873, the first year of issue. Mint State survivors of this date are scarce overall, and Choice examples are incredibly rare. This piece is softly frosted and lustrous with only minimal signs of surface contact. Liberty's head and the eagle's right (facing) leg are weak, but most other design elements show good definition. Both sides have a rich midnight-blue crescent encased in amber and violet that runs from 6 to 12 o'clock along the border. An appealing example in exceptional condition. Population: 6 in 64, 1 finer (11/18).
From The Greensboro Collection, Part VII.
