Description

1881 T$1 PR66 Cameo PCGS. With the inception of the Morgan dollar series in 1878, Philadelphia only minted proof-format Trade dollars, as nearly every ounce of silver was needed to meet the requirements of the Bland-Allison Act. Proof Trade dollars continued to be coined over the next few years to satisfy collector demand.
One of many amazing Trade dollars that we have handled over the years and a coin of captivating beauty, this Premium Gem is a fully brilliant "black and white" proof with deeply mirrored fields and highly lustrous devices. Few of the 960 proof Trade dollars that were minted in 1881 have survived in such a high technical grade. Population: 7 in 66 Cameo, 2 finer (3/09).
