Description
1878 Trade Dollar, PR66
Subtle Field-Device Contrast
1878 T$1 PR66 PCGS. CAC. This Premium Gem proof boasts
spectacular surfaces and preservation complementing sharp design
elements and deeply mirrored fields under vivid shades of
lavender-gray, emerald-green, and cobalt-blue toning. The eye
appeal is outstanding.Population Data (4/15): PCGS shows eight examples in PR66 and one PR68 finer. NGC reports 14 in PR66 and four PR67 finer. NGC also shows one amazing PR69 Cameo coin.
Heritage Commentary: Business-strike coinage of Trade dollars was suspended at the Philadelphia Mint in 1878, but 900 proof examples were struck to satisfy collector demand. The issue enjoys a fairly high survival rate, but most examples seen are in the PR60-PR63 range. The 1878 is elusive in PR66 condition, and finer grades are prohibitively rare.(Registry values: N4719)
