Description
1878 Trade Dollar, PR66
Spectacularly Toned Proof-Only Issue
1878 T$1 PR66 PCGS. CAC. The Trade dollar was a commercially
unpopular issue by 1878, a watershed year for the once-useful trade
coin, which was overshadowed by the debut of the Morgan dollar that
year. The Philadelphia Mint only struck 900 examples in Proof
format in 1878, to satisfy collector demand. A number of
business-strike examples were produced at Carson City and San
Francisco in 1878, but the denomination was clearly on borrowed
time and no more regular-issue coins were ever struck.This delightful Premium Gem exhibits sharply detailed design elements in most areas, but some incompleteness in the eagle's feathers is evident, due to lapping. The impeccably preserved surfaces are blanketed in spectacular shades of sea-green and cerulean-blue toning, with deeply mirrored fields underneath. Population: 10 in 66, 1 finer. CAC: 3 in 66, 0 finer (8/16).(Registry values: N4719)
