Lot 1235
1873 Trade Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 63. Nearly perfect in the toning department, this one boasts iridescent blue at the rims, coupled with rich gold predominating in a perfectly even fashion over the reflective fields and frosty devices. Boldly struck on each device and well preserved by time and collectors. We note ever present hairlines in the fields, but they are expected for the grade. A most impressive example of this first year of issue of the Trade dollar. PCGS has graded 38 as such, with 27 graded higher.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,800.
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.
