Description

1876 T$1 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Obverse 1, Reverse 2, the usual dies. Since the Trade dollar was intended for international commerce, particularly in China, it is logical that by 1876, most production for the denomination took place in San Francisco, close to the West Coast ports. Inland Carson City struck only slightly over half a million pieces that year, while the 455,000 coins pressed by the East Coast Philadelphia Mint brought up the rear. From this last, smallest issue hails the present Gem. Gleaming, immensely lustrous surfaces shine through faint layers of silver-gray patina. This sharply struck example is carefully preserved with potent eye appeal. Population: 18 in 65, 8 finer (11/08).
