Lot 1643
1882 Trade Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 65. Intense blue and golden colors. Here, too, we are pleased to describe a gem Proof of the finest order whose explosive mirrors adorns the stippled iridescent blue and purple surfaces. Piercingly sharp for the date, easily finer in sharpness than many in nominally higher grades. Very pretty. 1,097 Proofs minted. Pop 41; 24 finer; 19 in 66; 5 in 67. (PCGS # 7062) .
Just as the 1920s and 1930s saw extensive gangster activity in America, the 1870s and 1880s were an era when outlaws terrorized the countryside. One famous name finally met his match in 1882: On April 3rd that year, bank robber Jesse James was shot and killed by a member of his own gang at St. Joseph, Missouri.
Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,500.
Ex Dr. Hesselgesser.
