***Auction Highlight*** 1874-cc Trade Dollar $1 Graded Select Unc By USCG. This semi Proof Like, lightly mirrored example exhibits intense brilliance to both sides. Sharply struck in all but a few isolated areas with smooth surfaces at the select Uncirculated grade level. After delivering 124,500 pieces in 1873, the Carson City Mint stepped up trade dollar coinage in 1874 with a mintage of 1,373,200 coins. Most examples were shipped to China, as intended, where they circulated widely based on the multitude of chopmarked examples in numismatic hands. Limited quantities of 1874-CC trade dollars remained stateside since the denomination enjoyed legal tender status within the United States until demonetized through the Act of July 22, 1876. Contemporary numismatic interest in this denomination was virtually nil, however, with few examples preserved in Mint State. In the finest grades, in fact, the 1874-CC is one of the rarest issues of its type. A superior quality survivor in terms of both surface preservation and eye appeal, the offered example is sure to sell for a strong bid. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win Coin
