Lot 1561
1877. PCGS graded MS-65. Despite the mintage exceeding 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 central 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 excellent strike. This piece would make a gorgeous acquisition for a fine type set. Pop 10; 2 finer in 66. (PCGS # 7044) .
Estimated Value $16,000 - 17,000.
