Stunning and exceedingly rare Gem Uncirculated preservation for this conditionally challenged trade dollar issue. Highly lustrous and essentially brilliant, wisps of pale pinkish-silver tinting at the upper obverse border and over the upper third of the reverse are not really evident in all viewing situations. Booming frosty luster, however, cannot be missed. Sharply struck and expertly preserved, this is a lovely example that will delight its new owner.<p>After delivering 124,500 pieces in 1873, the Carson City Mint stepped up coinage in 1874 with a mintage of 1,373,200 trade dollars. Most examples were shipped to China, as intended, where they circulated widely based on the multitude of chopmarked examples. Smaller 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. The PCGS MS-65 example offered here will surely sell for a strong bid.
