1879 Trade Dollar, PR66 Cameo
Spectacular Quality and Appeal

1879 T$1 PR66 Cameo NGC. Starting in 1879, coinage of Trade dollars was restricted to proofs at Philadelphia, and demonetization of the denomination was less than a decade away. The proof mintages persisted through most of that time, however, presenting numismatists with a distinctive collecting opportunity. This is a gorgeous Premium Gem Cameo example of the 1879 issue, minimally toned save for a few small patches of haze. The devices on each side are attractively frosted. On the obverse, a curling lint depression below the date should serve as an effective pedigree marker. Census: 20 in 66 Cameo (1 in 66+, 3 in 66 ), 25 finer (12/25).
