Lot Description

1875-S/CC Trade Dollar. Type I/I. FS-501. AU-55 (PCGS). Light golden-gray patina engages the viewer from both sides of this attractive Choice AU. Boldly defined in all but a few isolated areas, ample remnants of satiny mint luster are also appreciable as the surfaces rotate under a light. Unknown to the wider numismatic community until reported by Bod Medlar in the early 1960s, collectors now recognize two die marriages of the 1875-S/CC trade dollar. Both are of the Type I/I hub combination, FS-501 with the undermintmark virtually centered under the primary S the more frequently encountered variety. Scarce in an absolute sense, nonetheless, particularly in the finer circulated and Mint State grades. PCGS# 7040. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
