Lot 3098
1873 Trade Dollar. NGC graded MS-64. Well struck and lightly toned. Smooth but frosty luster, the coin gently toned to a light milky haze through which intense silver color still persists. A blunt impression is often left by the recoil of the dies that struck this first year's coinage; just the same, we can report that this specimen, unlike the others, is outstanding in its detail and sharpness at the stars and Liberty, all letters and especially the eagle's body and wings. Pop 24; 7 in 65; 3 in 66.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 3,800.
