1876-S. Type I/I
.
NGC graded MS-65
. Proponents of
original silver are sure to appreciate this Gem Trade dollar.
Well struck with appealing satiny luster, both sides exhibit
dominant mauve-gray patina. This coin is extremely scarce
at the Gem level and one of the finer examples known
today. There are only three coins that grade a point finer as
noted, but for the date and mint specialist, this is a rare
opportunity to secure this issue at the Gem level.

1876-S
.
PCGS graded MS-62
. Type One Obverse and
Reverse. Large S. This nicely struck example is richly toned in
lilac-gray and deep sea-blue hues. Ample luster remains under
the toning. (

Estimated Value ..............................................$2,000 - 2,100

1877
.
PCGS graded MS-65
. Despite the mintage exceed-
ing 3 million pieces for the 1877 Trade dollar, this beautiful
Gem is one of only 10 such submissions at PCGS, with just
two MS66s finer. The sea-blue accents surrounding the cen-
tral devices and some of the lettering are further enhanced
with lovely, somewhat mottled, reddish-gold, amber, and
copper hues. The reverse displays a similar palette but
offers some deeper lavender tones near the rim. Cartwheel
luster prevails on both sides. The only minor complaint is
some strike bluntness, visible on Liberty's face and several
of the upper peripheral stars. The reverse boasts an excel-
lent strike. This piece would make a gorgeous acquisition
for a fine type set.
Pop 10; 2 finer in 66.

1877-CC
.
PCGS graded MS-64
. Sharply detailed
throughout with traces of rich russet-gold toning at
selected border areas, otherwise the coin presents as bril-
liant. The satiny luster shines overall and there are just a
couple of minor marks and scuffs that limit the grade. This
is a very difficult issue to locate in this grade and an even
more challenging coin to find with bright luster and good
eye appeal. More than a half million 1877-CC Trade dollars
were struck and apparently nearly all reached their
intended destination in the Orient, resulting in Mint State
pieces being legitimately scarce, especially in this high
grade. This is certainly one of the top 20 examples known
with most of that number being tied at the desirable Mint
State-64 grade level. Gems are prohibitive as the combined
number certified between NGC and PCGS reports just three
at Mint State-65 or finer for this date and mint. A remark-
able offering for the advanced Trade dollar or Carson City
specialist to acquire and a coin which any collector will long
be proud to own.
Pop 11; 2 finer, 1 in 65, 1 in 66.
