Description

1873-CC Trade Dollar, MS63
Lustrous and Attractively Toned

1873-CC T$1 MS63 PCGS. CAC. This is a surprising Select survivor from the initial 1873-CC Trade dollar issue, boldly cartwheeled with toning ranges from pale gold-gray to deep apricot. Typical strike softness appears on Liberty's head and the eagle's claws, though most of the stars are sharper than usual.

Population Data (5/14): PCGS shows 11 MS63 with five finer, the finest a single MS65. NGC reports seven MS63 and six finer. This MS63 is the sole example with the CAC green approval sticker.

Heritage Commentary: Since the nominal point of the Trade dollar was to send it into overseas commerce, it seems curious that one of the mints to strike it was Carson City, capital of the landlocked state of Nevada. Of course, when one considers that the actual point of the Trade dollar was to create more demand for domestic silver and the Comstock Lode was producing large quantities of said silver, CC-mint Trade dollars make more sense.(Registry values: N7079)
