Lot 1264
1879 Trade Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 63. Issued only in the proof format, the 1879 Trade dollar was a victim of the massive outpouring of Morgan dollars from every mint starting in 1878. 1,541 Trade dollars were struck in 1879, and this one remains choice despite very minor hairlines. Toned with natural gold in the fields, and quite appealing.
Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,600.
From the Benson collection and purchased from James G. Macallister on June 8, 1944 as part of a Proof Trade dollar set for $120.00.
