1873 T$1 MS65 PCGS
<B>1873 T$1 MS65 PCGS.</B></I> The 1873 is a rare item at the MS65 level of preservation, and it becomes excessively rare any finer, despite an original mintage of 396,600 pieces. Most of these first year Trade dollars were exported, as the law enabling their production had intended, and few business strikes were retained in Mint State condition, as collectors only had access to proofs.<BR> This exceptionally attractive Gem is one of just 14 coins to be so graded by NGC and PCGS combined, and a mere 8 examples have been certified by the two major services at a grade level higher than MS65, as of (12/07). Sharply struck, with a deep layer of rose-gray toning across both sides, and flashy turquoise-green accents that are especially prominent near the peripheries. The surfaces testify to careful preservation, showing very few marks of any kind.<BR><I>From The Rare Coins of New Hampshire Collector Set.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> William Barber<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
