Description
1878 Trade Dollar, PR66
Proof-Only Philadelphia Striking
1878 T$1 PR66 PCGS. When issued, 1878 Trade dollar proofs
were available from the Mint for $1.75 each in paper money, or for
$1.50 each in silver. Still, 219 pieces remained unsold at the end
of the year from a mintage of 900 pieces. Rather than melting the
excess proofs, the Mint distributed them at bullion value -- likely
to favored coin dealers. This stunning, deeply toned example must
have spent decades carefully preserved in a Kraft envelope.
Rotation under a light reveals nearly perfect mirrored fields that
are concentrically toned in shades of sea-green, blue, and
pale-rose hues. Iridescent colors play alongside the primary
shades, while the strike is razor-sharp throughout both sides.
Housed in a previous generation green label holder. Population: 13
in 66 (1 in 66+), 1 finer (11/18).From The Ron and Van Clark Collection. (Registry values: N4719)
