Description
1877-S Trade Dollar, MS66
Only Two Pieces Graded Finer
1877-S T$1 MS66 NGC. CAC. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green. This is a
beautiful MS66 NGC-certified example of the 1877-S Trade dollar,
what was by far the highest-mintage issue in the series at more
than 9.5 million pieces. The surfaces are semiprooflike on both
sides. The obverse shows recutting on stars 6, 8, and 10 through
13, with a silver center yielding to golden-olive and bluish tones
at the peripheral areas. The surfaces are fairly well-struck
overall, despite some minor weakness. The reverse displays a deeper
palette of grayish, amber, ochre, and olive tones with great eye
appeal. Minor strike softness again appears, on the upper wing
edges of the eagle and the immediate center of the breast. The
surfaces show splendid preservation throughout both sides. Census:
5 in 66 (1 in 66 ★ ), 1 finer (10/13). PCGS has seen 6
submissions in MS66, also with 1 finer.Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate; Partnership of Eric P. Newman / B.G. Johnson d.b.a. St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co.; Eric P. Newman @ $4.00; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.(Registry values: N7079)

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.
