With this update, my sets have gained more truly special coins. I am very excited to acquire not 1, but 2 1878-cc's, as there are presently 8 graded by PCGS.
I will also note that the chase of a minor variety set of trade dollars, all with chopmarks, is winding down now. As there are a handful more coins I am chasing, the extreme rarity of them is prohibitive. It will be a decades long battle to locate the remainder of the set (most likely). But, cheers to the chase.
Lastly, to the others that purchased some of the Northwest Collection, if you feel up to it - feel free to post them here !

Great acquisitions, hope you find the rest sooner than you expect.
Some great chopmarked coins, the 77-S RPD is great not only for the RPD itself but also the very highly misplaced date. And two chopmarked 78-CCs in one collection is just insanity, major rarity. 15 years between the last two public appearances of the date at auction, and then two pop up from the same source.
Here's my own pickup from the same collection, a much more easily located 1874-CC, Wide CC with some great original skin. Probably the most common Carson City Trade to locate with chops, but the mintmark means it still usually brings a premium.
Here's to whomever can find that wholesome, unquestionably authentic chopmarked 75-P first!
Great looking coins! 2 chopped 78cc's.. whoa! Great looking 74-cc too. Any background on the Northwest Collection? Never heard of it, until now.
The Northwest Collection is actually a series of sets (several are world class). I'll post links to the sets over the next couple of days but if you look on NGC and PCGS Registrys, one can see several. Some great collectors and collections prefer to remain anonymous. I'll speak with the current owner about sharing a little more history and background regarding the original collector. Keoj
Truly spectacular! Congrats!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Very nice Trade dollars... with chops.... I like them. Purchased one years ago for my collection....Not a collection of chopped Trade Dollars...just my 'collection'...
Showed it to Russ back then... He said it would upgrade and wanted to buy it... I kept it. Cheers, RickO
