1973-S $1 Silver, DCAM PR69DCAM 认证号71574547, PCGS号97431

1875-S, Type 1/2, Large S, Triple-strike error. Appearance: Reasonable strike. Multistrike artifacts are on left side of obverse and reverse periphery region. Weight: 27.2 grams – dead nuts on XRF Composition: 93.2% silver - 6.8% Copper. This is typical for a normal coin, silver content runs a little higher than 90% marked on the coin. No other significant trace elements were observed (this is correct for a real Trade Dollar). Other Thoughts: - This is where this coin is challenging. The coin shows evidence of at least 3 different rotational strikes on one edge of the obverse and 3 different rotational strikes on the reverse. I will name them in the reverse order of striking: - Final Strike – This one is clear on both obverse and reverse of the coin. The die pair used to produce this coin is not unique and can be seen in other coins. In fact, there was a similar coin in a Trueview same obv/rev dies, earlier die state: https://images.pcgs.com/coinfacts/25302205_max.jpg Here’s a late die state, to help match the obv. die cracks: https://images.pcgs.com/coinfacts/14831577_max.jpg - Strike 2 – Very obvious. Remnants of this strike are clearly seen on the both sides off the coin. o Obverse: Easy to see the remnants of “IN GOD WE TRUST” banner in the field. This represents a 90 degree CW rotation from normal position. o Reverse: Easy to see remnants of “STATES” seen near the UNITED lettering on the reverse. This represents a 90 degree CCW rotation from normal position. - Strike 1 – Very Subtle. Remnants of a prior strike are seen very subtly in the obverse but are more obvious on the reverse. o Obverse: Hard to see remnants of a stray star in the field near other stars. o Reverse: Remnants of “TRADE” seen in field near final position of TRADE. This represents a ~21 degree CW rotation from normal position. Taking rotation as a cue, it does make sense in the obverse case that a ~21 degree CCW rotation would impart a star remnant.

The 1973-S Silver Eisenhower Dollar came in very nice quality ranging from about PR67-69 Deep Cameo condition. Coin in perfect PR70 Deep Cameo condition are very scarce and any example in this condition will command a very strong premium.
