Lot 972		1874 Trade Dollar. NGC graded Proof 64. Gorgeous pastel and rainbow iridescent toning on both sides. Lustrous frosted relief on the eagle and seated figure of Liberty with mirror-like depth in the reflective fields. Both are distinguishing features of the well made Proofs. Razor-sharp strike.

Lot 973		1874-S Trade Dollar. NGC graded MS-62. Well struck and attractive. A hint of light toning on both sides. What a splendid display of choice frostiness of the best possible quality, a Trade dollar whose spot-free surfaces play host to robust detail in the main devices. Trade dollars had a short unhappy existence, having been produced only in the years 1873-83 (with two clandestine mintings dated 1884 and 1885 to top off this controversial series) (PCGS # 7036) . Estimated Value $950 - 1,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,300
Lot 974		1875 Trade Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 63 Benson. Delicately toned. This piece displays attractive frosted color over the abrasion-free devices, surrounded by mirror pools of reflectiveness. Of course, collectors seeing the photos understand this Proof Trade Dollar is nicely struck for the date, best of all entirely so. Certainly a coin that gets proper mention where choiceness of design is almost impossible to attain. Only 700 struck. Pop 61; 75 finer (PCGS # 7055) . Estimated Value $2,600 - 2,700. From our Dr. Benson sale. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,278
Lot 975		1875-S Trade Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64 PQ. A frosty mint beauty with delicate golden borders. This piece displays beaming snow-white color outside of the peripheral color over the mainly abrasion-free surfaces. We note one small scuff in the frost at Liberty's coronet. Unlike the general run of Trade Dollars of this caliber, the strike is thoroughly convincing in all places, even where some weakness is usually found at the high points of the eagle's wing and one leg. Definitely a Premium Quality coin for the grade. Pop 178; 33 finer (PCGS # 7039) . Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
Lot 976		1875-S Trade Dollar. PCGS graded MS-63. Frosty with light golden toning around the edges. A nice blizzard white tint radiates from this lustrous piece. This is a strongly struck Trade dollar from the country's Western mint whose high production made Trade dollars for export to Asia. The coin shows excellent detail to all the important high points (PCGS # 7039) . Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold

Lot 979		1880 Trade Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64. Nice even toning. 1,987 minted. While Mint State examples are occasionally available through the years 1873 to 1878, Proofs are elusive in the later Trade Dollar series (1879 to 1883). This is a sleek toned survivor that is indicative of an even higher grade. The surface ranges from steel-blue to dusky purple iridescence, evenly matched on both sides. Pop 154; 87 finer; 58 in 65; 26 in 66; 3 in 67. (PCGS # 7060) . Estimated Value $4,500 - 4,700. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Unsold
