Description

1878 T$1 PR65 ★ NGC. Ex: Simpson. Although regular issue Trade dollars were produced by the Carson City and San Francisco Mints in 1878, the Philadelphia Mint only struck proofs. A mere 900 specimens were issued, and the present coin is one of the better examples extant. Magnificent rainbow toning nearly envelops the surfaces with violet, blue, red, and green present on both sides and additional yellow and orange accents on the obverse. The sharply struck devices show delightful cameo contrast against the watery fields, but NGC has not given this piece a Cameo designation. This well-preserved Gem has great eye appeal and would make a wonderful addition to any collection.
