1878 Trade Dollar, PR66
Proof-Only Philadelphia Issue

1878 T$1 PR66 NGC. The 1878 Philadelphia Trade dollar is a proof-only issue, although Carson City and San Francisco made business strikes in this, the first year of Morgan dollar coinage. The Bland-Allison Act effectively ended the Trade dollar series, although proofs were coined for a few more years. Impeccable, mark-free surfaces are fully struck throughout on this Premium Gem proof. Under a lamp, the obverse resolves into deep purple and blue hues, with a touch of red around Liberty's outstretched arm. On the reverse, rose-pink prevails. Census: 14 in 66, 4 finer (12/14).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27YP, PCGS# 7058, Greysheet# 7404)
