Lot 1646
1883 Trade Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 65 Cameo. A nice mostly white coin with a hint of light gold toning. Dancing mirror reflection crisscrosses the smooth surfaces of this lightly toned gem. Devices are well frosted. A blend of shades, therefore, can be found on both sides both in terms of color as well as two-tone cameo relief. The strike is bold on both sides. 979 Proofs struck. Pop 12; 7 finer in 66. (PCGS # 87063) .
Many petitions reached Congress during the late-1870s seeking recall of the Trade dollar. As a result, mintage for circulation ended in 1878; Proofs continued to appear in the regular Proof sets (with a few yearly extras) through 1883.
Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,500.
