Description

1874-CC Trade Dollar, Boldly Struck MS64
Seldom Seen This Well-Preserved
Rare in Any Mint State Grade

1874-CC T$1 MS64 PCGS. This is a wonderful exception to the rule of mushy, irregular strikes for the 1874-CC Trade dollar issue. The stars, olive branch, and Liberty's head feature bold detail, as do the eagle's claws and feathers. A medley of steel-blue, violet, green, and russet toning covers each side with typically subdued luster shining through. Marks are well-concealed and minimally distracting.

Variety: Tall CC. Period after FINE. The normal variety for the issue.

Population Data (9/15): PCGS has seen 23 submissions in MS64 (one MS64+) and two finer -- one each in MS65 and MS66. NGC reports 13 in MS64 and four finer.

Heritage Commentary: Nearly the entire mintage of 1.3 million 1874-CC Trade dollars was exported to East Asia, where the coins could still be found in circulation as recently as the 1940s. This is the most commonly encountered issue with chopmarks, yet it is one of the most elusive dates in high Mint State grades. Near-Gems are rare and Gems are extremely rare, as few coins were saved for numismatic purposes.

Provenance: Purchased from Aspen Park Rare Coins (7/2013).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2532, PCGS# 7035, Greysheet# 7363)

Weight: 27.22 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
