Description
1877-S Trade Dollar, MS66
Only Two Pieces Graded Finer
Ex: 'Col.' Green, Newman
1877-S T$1 MS66 NGC. CAC. Ex: "Col." E.H.R. Green/ Eric P.
Newman Collection. 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: 6 in 66 (1 in 66 ★ ), 1
finer. CAC: 2 in 66, 1 finer (10/16). PCGS has seen seven
submissions in MS66 (one of which is 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; Eric P. Newman Collection, Part II (Heritage, 11/2013), lot 33519.
