Description

Elusive Near-Gem 1877-S Trade Dollar

1877-S T$1 MS64 PCGS. Consistently bold with shimmering cartwheel luster veiled in light-gray patina and golden accents. A well preserved representative of this once-maligned denomination. In his encyclopedia of Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States, Bowers notes that this issue had the highest of all business strike Trade dollars, at 9,519,000 coins, yet Bowers only estimates 170 to 325 surviving examples at the MS64 grade level. This particular near-Gem resides in an early PCGS holder with a green label.
