Lot Description

1874-CC Trade Dollar. Chop Mark. MS-62 (PCGS). Pleasingly original, gently mottled peripheral toning is bolder and more extensive on the obverse. The strike is sharp in most areas, and the luster is full in a bright, frosty finish. Positioned early in the trade dollar series, the 1874-CC as an issue was almost exclusively exported and suffered a high rate of attrition through commercial use and melting in the Far East. The present example is a scarce survivor from such usage, as evidenced by the single bold chop mark in the upper reverse field. PCGS Population (Chop Mark only): 26; 9 finer (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 87035. NGC ID: 2532. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
