Lot Description

1877 Trade Dollar. Proof-65 (NGC). Wisps of iridescent steel-olive, russet, deep rose, champagne-apricot and midnight blue drift over a base of antique silver. Carefully as well as originally preserved, both sides are smooth in hand with modest field to device contrast evident at direct lighting angles. This specimen is one of just 510 Proofs of the date struck, far and away the smallest Proof production run for any issue in the trade dollar series other than the legendary 1884 and 1885 Proof-only rarities. Within the already exclusive population of survivors the present example is among the finest, its offering in this sale representing a significant and fleeting bidding opportunity for the discerning collector. NGC Census: 14; 8 finer in this category (Proof-67 * finest). PCGS# 7057. NGC ID: 27YN. Click here for certification details from NGC.
