Description du lot

Boldly and originally toned Choice VF preservation for this scarcer issue in the Carson City Mint trade dollar series. Most of the 124,500 coins struck for the 1873-CC were exported to the Far East, as intended, where they circulated widely until their eventual destruction through melting. Shipments of trade dollars from China to coin dealers in the United States beginning in the 1950s contained very few examples of the 1873-CC, and most of the coins that were included were chopmarked. Limited quantities of 1873-CC trade dollars did remain stateside since the denomination enjoyed legal tender status within the United States until demonetized through the Act of July 22, 1876, while others were repatriated through the London market between 1878 and 1881, and these account for the majority of circulated examples in numismatic circles.
