Lot Description

A Second Mint State 1875-S/CC Trade Dollar 1875-S/CC Trade Dollar. Type I/I. FS-501. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. Brilliant white and lustrous throughout with minimal surface distractions. The strike is sharp and the open fields and devices are pleasing. The fist C in the mintmark was obliterated by the S, but the second C is clearly seen to the right of the S in the open field. Minor planchet striations from the original planchet making process are seen with effort. There are two diagnostic die lumps on the obverse, one on the upper part of the 7, the other on Liberty's upper left arm, seen on all examples of the S/CC blunder. PCGS# 7040. PCGS Population: just 9; 7 finer through MS-65.
