Description
1875-S Trade Dollar, MS65
Seldom Seen in Higher Grades
1875-S T$1 MS65 NGC. CAC. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. Type Two
Reverse (no berry below claw). This Gem 1875-S Trade dollar
displays scattered silver, gray, olive, gold, ochre, and pale blue
toning with a couple of russet accents near the date and star 1.
The surfaces are exceedingly well-struck. Note the sharpness on all
star centers (even though minor weakness appears on stars 6-8), the
wheat sheaves, and the sandal on Liberty's exposed left foot, where
all five toes and the strap are complete. A small die crack runs
from the rim above Liberty's olive branch through the top-left leaf
and stars 5 and 6 to the tip of the coronet. A small abrasion,
paralleling a few dentils above star 4, is the only mentionable
mark on surfaces that are otherwise quite well-preserved.The Type Two reverse presents a similar color palette, with the eagle's feathers fully struck throughout. Diagonal die striations appear on both sides as made -- on the obverse through the upper areas of Liberty, on the reverse through UNITED, the eagle's left (facing) side and neck, and (DOLL)AR. Census: 35 in 65, 6 finer (10/13).

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
