1873-S Trade Dollar, MS64+
Undesignated Cameo Contrast

1873-S T$1 MS64+ NGC. The 1873-S is the first and rarest San Francisco issue in the Trade dollar series. The mintage was 703,000 pieces, less than a tenth of the 1877-S production. As one might expect, the 1873-S is rare at the MS64+ level. NGC has certified only four coins as such, with just three examples finer (3/23). The present brilliant near-Gem is fascinating for its semiprooflike appearance. The devices are frosty, and contrast with the partly reflective fields. Neither NGC nor PCGS have certified an 1873-S Trade dollar as Prooflike, but this coin approaches that designation. Minor marks are noted in the upper-right obverse field and the upper-left reverse field. The strike is crisp aside from softness on the eagle's branch leg.(Registry values: N2998)
