$775 		Better Philadelphia Issue, Lightly Mirrored, Creamy Pewter-Gold Patina. Partially mirrored surfaces reveal light pewter-gold color throughout. Strike is typical, with a few soft stars. Surfaces are smooth and essentially mark-free for the grade with a few micro-ticks in the obverse fields. Let's remember the size of a Trade dollar coin and its opportunity for acquiring blemishes for the appropriate perspective. This is a wicked nice example. Following demonetization of Trade dollars in 1876, these pieces circulated at a discount, as falling silver prices reduced the bullion value of the coin to less than the face value. PCGS notes 106 coins in AU55, The PCGS price guide in AU55 is $800 as reference. The lightly mirrored fields and toning are a great visual pairing. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.
