Description

Choice Proof 1873 Trade Dollar Pattern

1873 T$1 Trade Dollar, Judd-1278, Pollock-1420, Low R.7, PR64 Brown PCGS. The obverse features a distinctive bust of Liberty in profile view to the left, wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY. The reverse is almost identical to the Commercial Dollar reverse above, but is inscribed TRADE DOLLAR instead of COMMERCIAL DOLLAR. This is struck in copper and is described as "Brown" although a more appropriate description would have been "Green." Maybe PCGS can add a few additional color designations for copper coins. Each side has vivid green toning over reflective fields with yellowish-brown rims. The design features are all sharply defined. This is a highly attractive example of the issue.
From The A. James Evans Collection.(#61563)
