Lot Description

Glorious Cameo Proof 1879 Trade Dollar 1879 Trade Dollar. Proof-67 Cameo (NGC). Here is an extraordinary example that will nicely represent both the type and issue.

Fully struck down to the most intricate design elements, with silky smooth surfaces that approach numismatic perfection. One of the most popular high quality type candidates in the trade dollar series, the 1879 inaugurates a run of Proof-only dates that would continue through the series' official end in 1883. This stunning Superb Gem is a conditionally rare survivor from a mintage of 1,541 Proofs and is sure to hold great appeal for discerning bidders. NGC Census: 19; 7 finer in this category (Proof-68 * Cameo finest). PCGS# 87059. NGC ID: 27YR. Click here for certification details from NGC.
