Lot 3112
1877-S Trade Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65. Lovely toning on both sides. Both the peripheries and the central areas are impressive for their sharpness of mint frostiness, and the smooth textured surfaces are glistening as well as almost entirely free of the usual bagmarks. About as fully struck as these are normally found, also, with just terrific detail in the stars and Liberty's hair, body, and agricultural regalia she is using as a perch to gaze over her seaside domain. There is no sailing ship off in the distance, but on a Pattern twenty-cent coin of similar design, this was indeed the intention of the design (William Barber) who placed a tiny sailing ship just above Liberty's feet. The devices was never placed on the circulating Trade dollars, however. Pop 21; 5 in 66; 1 in 67. (PCGS # 7046) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
