Description

1878 Trade Dollar, PR66+
Proof-Only Philadelphia Striking

1878 T$1 PR66+ PCGS. CAC. Trade dollars were only struck in proof format at the Philadelphia Mint in 1878, although regular-issue coins were produced at the branch mints. The denomination was clearly out of favor, being thoroughly overshadowed by the debut of the Morgan dollar that year, and no business-strike examples were ever produced after 1878.

Dusky shades of sea-green, lavender-gray, and violet toning blanket the well-preserved surfaces of this remarkable Plus-graded Premium Gem, with sharply detailed design elements and reflective fields underneath. Eye appeal is terrific. Population: 12 in 66 (1 in 66+), 1 finer. CAC: 4 in 66, 0 finer (6/17).(Registry values: N4719)

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

Weight: 27.22 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
