Description
1874-CC Trade Dollar, MS65
A Condition Census Rarity
Among the Finest at NGC
1874-CC T$1 MS65 NGC. Despite the active collector market
for Carson City issues of virtually every series, one could argue
that the 1874-CC Trade dollar in Gem condition is underappreciated.
This issue boasts a large mintage of more than 1.3 million coins
and is often available in Mint State through MS63. In MS64, scarce
examples can be had with a little patience, but collectors seeking
a Gem example of this issue will encounter one of the greatest
challenges of the Trade dollar series. The present coin is only the
third individual MS65 that we have ever handled, and it is the
first example in this grade to appear at auction anywhere since our
October 2014 sale of the Eugene H. Gardner Collection, Part II,
where an NGC Gem realized $18,800. This piece is arguably finer
visually, showing hints of gold throughout frost-white surfaces.
Liberty's head and the eagle's right (facing) leg exhibit the only
mentionable strike weakness. Preservation and eye appeal are
outstanding. NGC and PCGS combined have seen only five submissions
in this grade and one finer. Census: 4 in 65, 0 finer
(11/17).(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2532, PCGS# 7035, Greysheet# 7363)
