Lot 1872
1875 Pattern Trade Dollar. Copper Reeded Edge. Judd-1427. Pollock-1570 High Rarity 7. PCGS graded Proof 64+ Brown. Traces of mint red. Lovely toning. The dies with "Liberty by the Seashore" on the obverse and a regular 1875 Proof trade dollar die on the reverse. Exceptional rustic mint color in a shade of deep brick red on nicely mirrored glossy blue-brown surfaces. Boldly struck and well detailed, full of aesthetic appeal, some light hairlines account for the assigned grade, but no spotting or flyspecks. A great rarity in the trade dollar Pattern series, indeed, the most recent Judd book notes that one had not sold publicly since 1987! The sale of this specimen at public auction should be carefully considered by those who would endeavor to add this variety to their cabinets. Pop 1; the only Proof brown example graded at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 61734) .
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.
