1874-S Trade Dollar. MS-62 (PCGS).Pretty reddish-apricot iridescence decorates otherwise silver-lilac surfaces, the former with a considerably mottled distribution over both sides. The San Francisco Mint struck 2,549,000 trade dollars in 1874, most of which were used in the China trade. Even so, this issue numbers among the more available in Mint State for its type, although the 1874-S is scarcer than the 1875-S, 1876-S, 1877-S and 1878-S.From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection.
