Description
1878 Trade Dollar, PR66
Spectacularly Toned Proof-Only Issue
1878 T$1 PR66 PCGS Secure. 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 on 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: 13 in 66 (1 in 66+), 1 finer. CAC: 7 in 66, 0 finer (11/18).(Registry values: N4719)
