Description
1878 Trade Dollar, PR66
Beautifully Toned, Conditionally Rare
1878 T$1 PR66 NGC. CAC. Although the Western branch mints
continued to the strike Trade dollars in early 1878, the
Philadelphia Mint was devoted to the new Morgan type from the
outset, save for 900 proof Trade dollars that were struck for
collectors. This was the first proof-only issue in the series. The
present example displays a sharp strike and reflective fields. The
obverse is bathed in lovely ocean-blue, violet, orange, and
mint-gold hues, while the reverse displays sun-gold toning overall
with a thin crescent of blue and lavender along the upper border.
This issue is rare this fine, and the present coin is tied with one
other as the finest at CAC. Census: 14 in 66, 4 finer (4/16).From The Rev. Dr. James G. K. McClure Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
