1875-S T$1 MS66 NGC. Type One Reverse, Large S. Type O
<B>1875-S T$1 MS66 NGC.</B></I> Type One Reverse, Large S. Type One shows a berry below the left (right facing) claw. The 1875-S Trade dollar sported a mintage of 4.487 million pieces. David Bowers, in his <I>Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States,</B></I> indicates that: "While the majority of such coins were exported, thousands went into circulation on the West Coast ... where they traded at face value in commercial transactions." The issue is relatively available in Mint State, especially through MS64. Bowers even considers MS65 pieces obtainable: "In MS65 the 1875-S is the most available of all Trade dollars. I estimate that 75 to 150 or more exist." Interestingly though, NGC and PCGS have certified, to date, fewer than 55 pieces in this grade.<BR> The MS66 coin offered here is one of just 15 seen by the two grading services, and only three finer. Dazzling luster embraces both sides, and the only color on the coin (light purple) clings to the rims. The design elements are generally well struck, though softness is apparent on some of the star centers and on Liberty's hair and crown. The surfaces are quite well preserved for the grade. A few light roller marks are visible on each side. Census: 5 in 66, 0 finer (2/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
