Black and White 1882 Trade Dollar, PR67 Ultra Cameo

1882 T$1 PR67 Ultra Cameo NGC. The Trade dollar was last struck for circulation in 1877 at the Philadelphia Mint, and in 1878 at Carson City and San Francisco, but proofs continued to be produced in limited quantity each year through 1885. The final two dates (1884 and 1885) are great rarities and were publicly unknown until 1908.
The obverse appears brilliant at first glance, but the lower denticles exhibit faint golden-brown patina, and hints of plum iridescence adorn the upper border. The central reverse is also brilliant. However, the margins are generously graced with light bands of autumn-brown, sea-green, and mauve patina. As expected of the Ultra Cameo designation, both major devices are highly lustrous and heavily frosted. The legends and stars also demonstrate impressive white-on-black contrast with the glassy fields. The strike is essentially full, although the specialist will find a mere hint of incompleteness on the top of Liberty's head. This splendidly preserved specimen can be identified in future appearances by a tiny, almost-round planchet flaw near 3 o'clock on the reverse. Minute die doubling on the bases of 420 GRAINS is diagnostic of this scarce proof-only issue.
As of (2/09), NGC has encapsulated four 1882 Trade dollars as PR67 Ultra Cameo, and just one piece finer. PCGS has yet to certify a Deep Cameo example above the PR66 level.
