Lot 824
1873 Pattern Trade Dollar. Silver, reeded edge. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo. Frosty white gem. Meticulous strike on every device is what collectors look for in a rare Pattern, but this coin doesn't quite make the "full" grade since portions of the eagle are slightly weak due to the juxtaposition of high points on the opposite side. Just the same, the numerical condition is exact and obviously was carefully weighed by the grading service. This marvelous example has shimmering surfaces and no toning. Pop 1; finest cameo example graded.
Liberty seated facing left, 13 stars around 1873 below, Liberty supports a pole surmounted by a liberty cap with her right hand her left rest on a globe inscribed LIBERTY, two bales of cotton and a tobacco plant at her feet. Reverse, small eagle facing right standing on a shield holding three arrows in left talon and olive branch in right. Designs by Joseph A. Bailly.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
