Lot 1570
1882. PCGS graded Proof 66. CAC Approved. Trade dollars continued to be struck at Philadelphia exclusively in proof format in 1882 for the fifth year in a row (since 1878). A fairly large mintage of 1,097 proofs was struck to satisfy anticipated collector demand, however, it seems to have lessened as the year progressed. It is likely that some examples may have gone unsold, to be melted after the end of the year, thus a smaller, but unknown survival rate. This remarkably toned Gem Proof features sharp details throughout, save for a couple of the star centrils. The magnificent highly reflective surfaces are spectacularly toned in vivid shades of reddish-gold at the centers with cobalt-blue hues at the outer areas on each side. A stunning, completely original example. Pop 19; 6 finer in 67. (PCGS # 7062) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
