Impressive 1873 Trade Dollar, Gem Proof

1873 T$1 PR65 NGC. Authorized by the Coinage Act of February 12, 1873, Trade dollar production began shortly thereafter. Despite a plentiful mintage of business strikes (396,635 pieces), there was little demand for proofs, so only 865 specimens were struck, which is low compared to the four-figure proof mintages for later years. Vibrant toning endows the surfaces of the present piece, with rose and gold at the centers and cobalt-blue in the margins. The deeply reflective fields are remarkably pristine, and a loupe locates only a couple of nearly imperceptible contact marks. A sharply struck and exceptionally attractive representative. Census: 14 in 65, 3 finer (7/08).(Registry values: N4719)
