Lot Description

1880 Trade Dollar. Proof-65 Cameo (NGC). This is a lovely Gem Cameo example of an ever popular Proof-only trade dollar. The fully impressed devices exhibit a satiny texture that contrasts markedly with reflective fields. It is virtually brilliant with a silky smooth appearance, and there is much to recommend this delightful piece to high quality type and date collectors. Proof mintage: 1,987 pieces due to a speculative investment flurry (details can be found in Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia,Q. David Bowers, 1993). Provenance: From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Acquired from Stack's, June 2004. PCGS# 87060. NGC ID: 27YS. Click here for certification details from NGC.
