Lot 1562
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 brilliant. 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 remarkable 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. (PCGS # 7045) .
Estimated Value $19,000 - 20,000.
