Description
PR66 Cameo 1879 Trade Dollar
First of the Proof-Only Dates
1879 T$1 PR66 Cameo NGC. While 1878 is the first proof-only
Philadelphia Trade dollar issue, the 1879 is far more
famous, as it is the first date for which only proofs were
coined (both Carson City and San Francisco made business strikes in
1878). With a generous mintage of 1,541 pieces, the 1879 Trade
dollar is available for a price in most grades, though at the PR66
Cameo level seen here, it is a rarity. Strong silver mirrors have a
delicate layer of gold-tinged gray patina, and while the
well-defined devices are lightly frosted, the contrast is
undeniable. A few tiny lint marks appear on each side. Census: 16
in 66 Cameo, 15 finer (10/10).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27YR, PCGS# 87059, Greysheet# 7408)
