Lot Description

<strong>Obv:</strong> Very similar to the design that the Mint adopted for regular issue trade dollar coinage, although the right base of the portrait is longer and joins the adjacent border. <strong>Rev:</strong> A small eagle with outstretched wings clutches an olive branch in its right talon, three arrows in its left talon, and a scroll inscribed E PLURIBUS UNUM with its beak. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is above, the inscription 420 GRAINS, 900 FINE is immediately below the eagle, and the denomination TRADE DOLLAR is inscribed along the lower border. Appreciably cameoed in finish, the surfaces are a bit subdued and show wispy hairlines that also help to explain the Proof-62 numeric grade from PCGS. Fully struck with no sizeable marks.
