【Higher Grade】Trade Dollar 1976 (M9) MS-65 PL

This particular example has been certified by PCGS as MS65 Prooflike (PL)—a truly exceptional grade for this series.

Even standard Mint State examples without the PL designation are already regarded as highly valuable; however, a true MS-graded piece with mirrorlike surfaces is exceedingly rare. The coin exhibits brilliant reflectivity, sharp strikes, and exceptional preservation, representing the finest technical and aesthetic standards achieved by the Osaka Mint during the Meiji era.

●In recent years, collector demand for high-grade Trade Dollars has continued to strengthen both domestically and internationally. Notably, at the 2025 Japan Coin Convention, a higher-graded MS66 PL specimen was offered at ¥9,000,000, reflecting the steady appreciation of this type in the upper echelons of the market.

With its combination of superior preservation, certified rarity, and historical significance, this MS65 PL example represents one of the finest available opportunities for advanced collectors and investors alike.
