Description
Phenomenal 1882 Trade Dollar
PR66 Ultra Cameo
1882 T$1 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. From a proof-only mintage of
1,097 pieces, the 1882 Trade dollar is reasonably available today
in the context of the series. However, coins at the PR66 Ultra
Cameo level are decidedly rare. NGC has certified only nine coins
in this grade, with five finer (4/09). The issue was quite popular
with contemporary collectors, who frequently purchased more than
one specimen from the Mint. A case in point was collector James B.
Wilson. When dealer Thomas Elder sold his collection in October
1908, lots 215, 216, and 217 were all 1882 proof Trade dollars.
Wilson's collection also included three examples of the 1881 and
1883 proof Trade dollars, so his pattern seems consistent.The present coin is a phenomenal specimen, with brilliant, untoned surfaces. The dramatic black-on-white contrast between the deeply mirrored fields and frosty, lustrous devices is truly spectacular. Overall eye appeal is stunning.
