Lot Description

1875-S/CC Trade Dollar. Type I/I. FS-501. AU-58 (NGC). Sharply to fully defined throughout, this handsome near-Mint example is warmly and evenly toned in olive-gray patina. Unknown to the wider numismatic community until reported by Bob 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. NGC Census (FS-501 attribution only): 13; 22 finer (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 145813. NGC ID: 2536.
