Lot 3111
1877-S Trade Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. Light original grey toning on both sides. Pop 30; 3 in 66; 1 in 66 Star; 1 in 67. A hard to believe array of rich gray to steel blue hues dapples the surfaces of this handsome gem San Francisco mint Trade dollar. A small mark in the field is seen at the last star on the obverse, with a short hairline scratch beside the 10th star, but the present prize is still extraordinarily beautiful. What one sees sometimes on this mint's coinage is an unconvincing impression left after the recoil of the dies; greatly to our pleasure and the bidders', that is not the case here. This Gem MS65 is sharp, very sharp, in fact.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
