1873 T$1 Chopmarked VF25 PCGS #87031

CAC (The only CAC approved example as of August 2024). The 73-P is an extraordinarily tough coin; its scarcity trails 75-P and 78-CC but it is a solid #3. This lovely and original dove gray coin is a welcome addition.

1873-S T$1 Chopmarked AU55 PCGS #87033

The 73-S is the toughest of the SF issues.. Lovely patina and killer luster for an AU coin. Ex-Blue Sofa

1874 T$1 Chopmarked AU58 PCGS #87034

CAC (The only CAC approved example as of Feb 2025). Good luster, weak strike, it's a pretty decent coin. The real story is the date. 74-P is H A R D. I missed out on this coin in an NGC holder and then again once it crossed to PCGS. After 18 months of looking for another 74-P, I had found only three awful examples, two of which were actually 74-S in a 74-P holder. I had to go back and buy this one, paying for my folly. The lesson? If an acceptable 74-P (among other dates) becomes available, get it!

1874-CC T$1 Chopmarked MS62 PCGS #87035

Not that difficult of a date but they don't come like this too often. Fantastic luster, color, and strike; it's a really nice coin.

1874-S T$1 Chopmarked MS63 PCGS #87036

CAC. An absolute luster bomb! A few scattered marks and a touch of a weak strike on the obverse are the only things keeping this from perfection.

1874-S T$1 Chopmarked MS63 PCGS #87036

CAC. An absolute luster bomb! A few scattered marks and a touch of a weak strike on the obverse are the only things keeping this from perfection.

1874-S T$1 Chopmarked MS63 PCGS #87036

CAC. An absolute luster bomb! A few scattered marks and a touch of a weak strike on the obverse are the only things keeping this from perfection.

1874-S T$1 Chopmarked MS63 PCGS #87036

CAC. An absolute luster bomb! A few scattered marks and a touch of a weak strike on the obverse are the only things keeping this from perfection.

1875 T$1 Chopmarked N1 PCGS #87037

After reviewing die pairs, I do not think this is an 1875-P. Yet, I still paid a stupid amount of money just so that I can have a hole filler, so I guess I'm the greater fool. The 75-P is an impossible coin and it's probable that I will never have an opportunity to buy one. This will fill the slot for any number of years or decades until the elusive key date appears(...or doesn't).

1875-CC T$1 C-15 Small Wide CC, Chopmarked N1 PCGS #974437

The 75 very wide c c was unknown until a few years ago. It is the unquestioned king of the trade dollar varieties with 5 known examples. Even more so, it is the Holy Roman Emperor of chopmarked trade dollar varieties as this is the only known example. An attractive coin despite an old cleaning. Purchased raw and unattributed from a random auction house in New Hampshire. Kirchgessner TDV-09

1875-S T$1 Type-I/I Chopmarked MS62 PCGS #517119

CAC. Bursting with luster and three very cool chops, a very nice example of a common date.

1875-S T$1 Type-I/I Chopmarked MS62 PCGS #517119

CAC. Bursting with luster and three very cool chops, a very nice example of a common date.

1875-S T$1 Type-I/I Chopmarked MS62 PCGS #517119

CAC. Bursting with luster and three very cool chops, a very nice example of a common date.

1875-S T$1 Type-I/II, Chopmarked MS62 PCGS #517120

Despite a poor strike, this is one of the finest chopped 75-S with a type 2 reverse. Really cool cartouche chop on the reverse and blazing luster!

1875-S T$1 C-26 Small S, Chopmarked AU58 PCGS #949731

Type 1/2 Micro S - neat and very scarce variety and a really nice looking coin to boot! There are heavy planchet striations on the reverse but they add to the charm of this tough coin. Purchased unattributed on Instagram. Kirchgessner TDV-11

1875-S/CC T$1 FS-502, C-7.1 OMM Chopmarked N1 PCGS #966320

The 502 over-mintmark is much more scarce than its sibling 501 but also much less readily visible. The coin still has a significant amount of tar across its surfaces, likely remnants from a trip back from China a hundred years ago. Cherrypicked raw from eBay. Kirchgessner TDV-13

1876 T$1 Type-I/I Chopmarked VF35 PCGS #948797

CAC. The first known example and still one of only several known chopped 76-P with type one obverse and reverse. Tough coin! Ex-Blackhawk

1876 T$1 TDV-14, Type I/I with Period VF35 PCGS #999355

While all 76-P examples are extremely difficult to find, this coin is somewhat of a unicorn as the third known chopped 1/1. This is the only example from the reverse die with full serifs on the letters and a period after FINE. More so, it's an extremely early die state (before a notable die crack developed and the die quickly failed) which then circulated enough to make finding die markers very difficult but not impossible. The odds are heavily against this coin surviving yet here it is in a straight graded holder. Ex-Blue Sofa. Kirchgessner TDV-14

1876 T$1 C-15, Transitional T-I Obv Chopmarked N1PL PCGS #966967

This is the scarce and interesting type 1.5/2 with the flag pointing left but a 4th finger engraved. Two interesting chops on the reverse and some level of PL under the heavily-toned blue & brown patina which is not surprising given that it was struck with previously used proof dies. Found raw in Hong Kong by @hkcolonialcoins. Kirchgessner TDV-16

1876 T$1 Type-II/II Chopmarked N1 PCGS #910054

The 76-P 2/2, along with the 76-S DDO and 75-Very Wide CC, is at the pinnacle of the trade dollar variety mountain. Oddly enough, given how rare it is unchopped, mathematically one would expect there to be zero or one chopped instances; I am aware of five chopmarked examples. Nearly unc details, it is unquestionably hairlined but looks much better in hand than the Trueview would indicate. Ex-Stealer. Kirchgessner TDV-18

1876-CC T$1 Type-I/I Chopmarked XF45 PCGS #932057

Not only is this a very scarce type 1/1, it is the discovery coin for an unknown die marriage. Previously, the known type 1 reverse dies were normal CC, wide CC, and DDR. This reverse die matches one used on a number of 75-CCs. This is the only variety graded, chopped, non-DDR 1/1; the PCGS# was created October 2023 for this coin. Luckily, it's also an attractive coin with nice detail and some neat chops. Kirchgessner TDV-20

1876-CC T$1 Type-I/I Chopmarked XF45 PCGS #932057

Not only is this a very scarce type 1/1, it is the discovery coin for an unknown die marriage. Previously, the known type 1 reverse dies were normal CC, wide CC, and DDR. This reverse die matches one used on a number of 75-CCs. This is the only variety graded, chopped, non-DDR 1/1; the PCGS# was created October 2023 for this coin. Luckily, it's also an attractive coin with nice detail and some neat chops. Kirchgessner TDV-20

1876-CC T$1 Type-I/II Chopmarked AU53 PCGS #687107

CAC. Within the Carson City issues, the 76, while not quite as tough as the 73 or 77 and certainly not the 78, is much more scarce than chopped 74s and 75s. This coin has a very thick, original patina but, upon viewing under light, a significant amount of luster peeks through.

1876-CC T$1 C-2 Small Wide CC, Chopmarked N1 PCGS #938763

76 is the most common of the wide CC trade dollars but is still a very scarce coin. A nicely circulated coin with remnants of an old cleaning still evident. Purchased on HA and cracked out of a NGC holder. Kirchgessner TDV-21

1876-CC T$1 FS-801, C-1.1 DDR Chopmarked AU55 PCGS #938764

CAC. The Doubled Die Reverse, while not easy to find problem free, is not tremendously scarce, and represents roughly 15% of the total mintage. It is one of the most dramatic and noticeable of all US doubled dies. This coin has nice color to go along with numerous chops and the interesting die features. Purchased raw on eBay. As of March 2024, 1 of 9 CAC approved DDR and the only chopped example. Kirchgessner TDV-22

1876-S T$1 Type-I/I, Chopmarked MS63 PCGS #813350

As original as they come. Other than the chops, the surfaces are nearly immaculate. A common date but pristine detail and deep magentas, purples, and blues make this an extremely pleasing coin.

1876-S T$1 Type-I/II, Chopmarked AU50 PCGS #609497

CAC. The 1/2 is a slightly better variety although not quite as tough as the pop report would lead one to believe (as this is the only attributed example of the variety). Couple of neat relief chops on the obverse and a common but absolutely perfect chop on the reverse to go along with some fairly extensive die cracks. Purchased at HA and cracked out of a NGC AU holder.

1876-S T$1 Type-II/II, Chopmarked MS63 PCGS #594621

CAC. An old dip followed by decades of album toning has given this coin deep color on top of cartwheel luster. This is likely the finest chopped example of the date with the 2/2 hub combination. Ex-Aubrey Bebee

1876-S T$1 Type-II/II, Chopmarked MS63 PCGS #594621

CAC. An old dip followed by decades of album toning has given this coin deep color on top of cartwheel luster. This is likely the finest chopped example of the date with the 2/2 hub combination. Ex-Aubrey Bebee

1876-S T$1 FS-301 RPD Chopmarked MS61 PCGS #507109

CAC. A rarely seen unc example of this tough RPD. Kirchgessner TDV-26

1876-S T$1 Chopmarked N1 PCGS #87043

This is a very scarce variety with maybe a few dozen extant examples in all conditions. No period after fine and a "medium" S that was likely created with a punch intended for a half dollar. Kirchgessner TDV-23

1876-S T$1 C-31 Type-I/II Lg. S, Chopmarked AU53 PCGS #975052

The 1/2 Large S is a tough variety, but not quite as difficult as its sister 2/2 Large S. Kirchgessner TDV-24

1876-S T$1 C-38 Type-II/II Lg S Chopmarked N1 PCGS #966321

This is a legitimately rare variety; along with the 1/2 Large S, it's a very tough coin to find. This coin is a handsome dove gray that still retains a whiff of semi-PL surfaces (which is known for the variety) but just a bit too much "stuff" around the devices for a straight grade. Kirchgessner TDV-25

1877-CC T$1 Chopmarked AU55 PCGS #87045

CAC. Good luster and a green bean despite a gentle dip at some point and just the right amount of chops. The 77-CC is another one of the many semi-keys in the set.

1877-S T$1 Chopmarked MS63 PCGS #87046

CAC. Ultra common date but semi-PL and absolutely chiseled. A truly delightful coin. Ex-DDR

1877-S T$1 Chopmarked AU58 PCGS #87046

CAC. The Trueview does not do this coin justice. 77-S is a very common date but this coin is extremely lustrous on both sides with golden rim toning on the obverse and fantastic layered color on the reverse. It's a bit surprising it's not in an Unc holder but nonetheless this is a remarkably attractive coin.

1877-S T$1 C-3 Broken Arrows, Chopmarked MS62 PCGS #975292

CAC. Very neat Broken Arrows variety. They are not too scarce in lower grades but they don't turn up often in uncirculated condition. Kirchgessner TDV-33

1877-S T$1 FS-301, Chopmarked XF45 PCGS #686867

CAC. The FS-301 RPD is a moderately difficult variety to find but becomes vanishingly scarce if looking for a problem free example. An easily seen remainder of the repunched second 7 is evident. While not visible here, the few mint state examples also show evidence of a repunched mint mark. Purchased raw and unattributed via eBay. Kirchgessner TDV-32

1877-S T$1 FS-802, C-17 DDR, Chopmarked AU58 PCGS #949741

This is a not extraordinarily difficult DDR variety with doubling visible to those with high acuity eyesight, most pronounced on the 4 & 2. This very attractively toned piece is one of my most colorful trade dollars. One somewhat unusual relief chop adds to the beauty of this lightly handled coin. Kirchgessner TDV-36

1878-S T$1 FS-801 DDR Chopmarked MS62 PCGS #672869

CAC. This is a very flashy and sharp coin with immaculate detail. 4/0 for chopped 78-S, and sole top pop for the chopped doubled die reverse. Ex-WTL, Ex-Blackhawk. Kirchgessner TDV-37

1878-S T$1 FS-801 DDR Chopmarked MS62 PCGS #672869

CAC. This is a very flashy and sharp coin with immaculate detail. 4/0 for chopped 78-S, and sole top pop for the chopped doubled die reverse. Ex-WTL, Ex-Blackhawk. Kirchgessner TDV-37

1878-S T$1 FS-801 DDR Chopmarked MS62 PCGS #672869

CAC. This is a very flashy and sharp coin with immaculate detail. 4/0 for chopped 78-S, and sole top pop for the chopped doubled die reverse. Ex-WTL, Ex-Blackhawk. Kirchgessner TDV-37
