1874 T$1 PR 62 PCGS. Collectors did not save the 1873 and 1874 proof Trade dollars as extensively as the later issues in the series and, as a result, these examples are relatively elusive in today's numismatic marketplace. While the balance of this piece's features exhibit razor sharp delineation, Liberty's breast and the eagle's right (facing) leg are conspicuous by their lack of detail. The numerous hairlines that pepper the mirrored fields account for the PR 62 designation, although we note that the pleasing blanket of pastel-gold patina that overlays both sides, and a pronounced cameo effect give this coin the allure of a significantly higher grade. For accuracy alone, we mention a series of trivial planchet flaws in the right obverse field.
