Lot 1639
1881 Trade Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo. A wonderful white coin with a hint of gold toning around the rims. A strikingly beautiful coin. A hard to believe array of deep golden and amber hues enhance the glassy-smooth surfaces of this handsome gem Proof trade dollar. A small region of striking weakness is occasionally noted on the stars of the later Proof-only pieces (1878-83), but the present prize is extraordinarily beautiful, crisp and sharp. For those who collect this wonderful series of coins, realizing every day the truth that fewer will be offered for sale as they are taken off the market, serves to increase the interest in the series, especially the low-production Proof-only dates. 960 Proofs struck. Pop 11; 12 finer; 1 in 66 Star; 8 in 67; 1 in 68; 2 in 68 star.
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,500.
