Description
1874-CC Trade Dollar, MS65
Rare Micro CC Variety
1874-CC T$1 MS65 NGC. Breen-5786. Although some details are
indistinct, such as Liberty's head, foot, and a few stars on the
obverse and the top of the left (facing) wing on the reverse, the
strike is above-average for this issue. A few scattered marks are
consistent with the grade on this frosty and highly lustrous Gem,
displaying delicate gold toning on brilliant silver surfaces.Variety: We are unaware of any conclusive die variety study of Trade dollars. Walter Breen listed two varieties in his Complete Encyclopedia. The normal variety is Breen's Tall Boldface CC variety, and the other, Breen-5786, described as rare, is the Micro CC variety. We believe this piece is an example of the latter, and further note a bold spike through the top of the D in the denomination.
Population Data (7/14): NGC reports 148 Mint State 1874-CC Trade dollars, but four MS65 examples are tied for the finest there. The finest at PCGS are one each in MS65 and MS66.
Heritage Commentary: This offering is the third appearance of this coin in our auctions, and we have only handled one other 1874-CC Trade dollar certified MS65, followed by two dozen MS64 examples.
Provenance: Purchased from Legend Numismatics on April 9, 2007. Ex: Santa Clara Signature Sale (Heritage, 11/2000); FUN Signature Sale (Heritage, 1/2001), lot 7225.(Registry values: N7079)
