1873-S Trade Dollar, MS64+
Scarcest San Francisco Issue

1873-S T$1 MS64+ NGC. CAC. The 1873-S is the first and scarcest San Francisco Trade dollar issue. Only a handful of Gems have survived, and those few examples trade for five figures when they appear at auction. The present coin is as close to Gem as can be obtained for a reasonable price. It is a lustrous coin with delicate ice-blue and straw-gold toning. The strike shows minor inexactness on Liberty's hair and the eagle's branch claw. The sole reportable contact is on the field near Liberty's raised knee. NGC has certified four pieces as MS64+ with just three finer. CAC: 7 in 64, 3 finer (8/22).(Registry values: N2998)

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