Lovely 1874 Trade Dollar, PR64 Cameo

1874 T$1 PR64 Cameo NGC. "Patched Letters Reverse," as are most extant proof 1874 Trade dollars. After the first-year 1873, the 1874 is the rarest proof Trade dollar produced through 1883. As with the preceding year, proofs of this type were not popular with collectors in 1874, and the survival of high grade examples was more a matter of chance than deliberate numismatic activity. This is a lovely near-Gem with shimmering fields and a lone distraction on the obverse above Liberty's outstretched arm. Both sides are toned in olive-gray that brighten to golden hues at direct angles. The devices are frosted and, with the exception of the eagle's right (facing) leg, are sharply struck. An attractively original and boldly cameoed example. Census: 15 in 64 Cameo, 11 finer (7/10).(Registry values: N2998)
