First-Year 1873-S Trade Dollar, Scarce MS 64 Preservation

1873-S T$1 MS 64 PCGS. The proximity of the San Francisco Mint to the Orient meant that many of the Trade dollars produced at this facility in 1873 were shipped overseas. Once in the Orient, most 1873-S Trade dollars were melted or extensively circulated. An important, Choice quality survivor from an original mintage of only 703,000 pieces, this thickly frosted example is delicately toned in golden-gray shades. The otherwise sharp strike wanes slightly over the top of Liberty's head, but the relative lack of abrasions confirms this coin's technical and aesthetic merits. Population: 9 in 64, with a mere 3 finer (12/00).
