Fabulous 1879 Trade Dollar, PR67 Cameo

1879 T$1 PR67 Cameo NGC. Although 1878 saw the last flourish of circulation-strike Trade dollars, the series limped along a few more years with a series of proof-only issues before blinking entirely out of existence. The year 1879 saw only proofs issued, produced to the extent of a fairly generous 1,541 pieces. Precious few, however, today can lay claim to so lofty a grade as the present fabulous specimen, essentially untoned with a powerful strike and outstanding black-and-white contrast. The frost over the central devices, while not thick, is ample, and the fields boast powerful reflectivity. A tiny, curving lint mark visible below the last star on the right is a possible pedigree marker. Census: 16 in 67 Cameo, 8 finer (2/09).
