Lot 2768
1880 Trade Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 63 Cameo. Hints of light mottled toning here and there. Only 1,987 struck for this year. A one-in-a-thousand example of this Proof-only issue, with abundant luster that shimmers over pristine cameo frosted devices. Next a word about the strike. The pressure transmitted from the die to the specially prepared blank used on the Proofs reveals itself in sharp details at Liberty's hair and coronet, the ribbon with LIBERTY on it, the bale of cotton and the sheaf of wheat. Not overlooked is a razor-sharp eagle, whose plumage reveals all its intricacy under a loupe. Very choice indeed. Pop 32 (PCGS # 87060) .
Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,300.
