Lot 651
1878 Trade Dollar. NGC graded Proof 65. Lovely blue and gold toning. 900 Proofs minted for this Proof only year. It is difficult for us to pick a starting point for our assessment of this coin's wonderful merits, as they are extend right across both sides of the coin. The first point that will almost certainly greet the viewer is the colorful toning. As viewed in the photographs, the hues are richly saturated, watery (from the reflective fields) and pose a satiny contrast from the almost matte-like devices. The latter features are keen-edge and sharp throughout. Furthermore, all areas are silent on the subject of spots and marks. The coin is a rip-roaring Gem Proof! Beautiful in all regards, this coin would serve as a pride and joy in any collection, above all a better-date Proof Type set of top quality. Pop 38; 10 in 66; 4 in 67. In a new NGC 4 pronged holder.
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,000.
The Mark Gordon Collection.
