1874-CC Trade Dollar, MS64
Scarce Early Carson City Issue

1874-CC T$1 MS64 PCGS. CAC. The overwhelming majority of the more than 1.3 million 1874-CC Trade dollars were shipped to Asia, and few examples were saved by collectors at the time. As a result, the 1874-CC is very scarce in Uncirculated grades. Those Mint State examples that do exist typically show numerous bagmarks and other signs of careless handling. PCGS also includes chopmarked examples in their census overview, which means that the number of survivors without such marks is even lower. Excluding chopmarked examples, PCGS reports only 17 examples in MS64 with just two specimens in higher grades (7/11). This near-Gem is almost fully struck on each side. Gray-rose toning is seen on obverse and reverse and is surrounded by lime-green at the margins. The few light abrasions that define the grade are well-concealed by the toning.
