Lot 1741
1880 Trade Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 65 Cameo. A stunning gem white coin. The frosted devices imbued with striking white luster that graces the mirror depth of the surfaces that surround. Nicely struck for the date, indeed, about as fine as this date is ever found with only a couple of rounded stars noted. William Barber would have loved this one! (No, William Barber isn't one of the prospective bidders in the sale who couldn't attend; he's the chief engraver at the mint from 1869 to 1877 who designed this elegant Trade Dollar.) A proof only year. 1,987 issued for this year. Pop 13; 7 in 66 CAM; 6 in 67 CAM. (PCGS # 87060) .
Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.
