Lot 1625
1874 Trade Dollar. NGC graded Proof 65. The 1874 is more difficult to locate in high grades than the later Proof issues in the trade dollar series. Lovely gold and blue toning on both sides. As stated, a splendid multi-hued gem with forceful colors, a confident strike, sleek glass-smooth mirrors, and eye appeal that just won't relinquish your attention! Watching bidders grow nervous with anticipation whenever a nice group of Proof trade dollars gets auctioned, we find our attention is attracted chiefly by the balanced composition of this individual specimen, as well as to the same balance of original toning and fresh surfaces found on all of the gems in the sale. An opportunity the serious-minded collector shouldn't overlook. One of only 700 Proofs struck. Pop 17; 9 finer; 7 in 66; 2 in 67.
Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000.
