Description
1874 Trade Dollar, MS66
Second Finest Known
1874 T$1 MS66 PCGS. CAC. The Philadelphia Mint coined
987,100 Trade dollars in 1874, the second year of production for
this series. However, the survival rate seems to be rather low as
PCGS and NGC have only certified 372 examples of this issue in all
grades, and just 202 of those in all Mint State grades (11/18).
Last offered over a decade ago, this is the only MS66 that has
crossed the auction block in recent times, with just a dozen MS65
examples appearing for sale. When Dave Bowers produced his two
volume Silver Dollar Encyclopedia, he discussed the
population of Mint State 1874 Trade dollars in grades up to MS65,
but made no mention of higher grade pieces.A brilliant, dazzling Premium Gem, this amazing Trade dollar exhibits full cartwheel brilliance with satin luster in the fields and frosty luster on the devices, creating excellent field-to-device contrast. Some strike weakness is noted at Liberty's head and the two uppermost stars, as well as the eagle's wingtips. However, this piece is sharper than many others. Trivial dark toning specks are noted above and below the 4 in the date
This is an extremely important opportunity for the advanced Trade dollar specialist to acquire a coin that PCGS Coin Facts records as the second finest known circulation strike 1874 Trade dollar that exists today. In fact, less than a dozen circulation strike Trade dollars of all dates have earned a finer numerical grade than this example. Population: 1 in 66, 1 finer. CAC: 1 in 66, 1 finer (11/18).
