Proof 1880 Trade Dollar
Toned Superb Gem

1880 T$1 PR67 NGC. CAC. The 1880 Trade dollar is a proof-only issue, as were all Trade dollars struck from 1879 on. Of the 1,987 coins struck this year, David Bowers, in his Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States, estimates that 1,300 to 1,700 examples still exist. That estimate may be a bit high, at least if the certified population figures are any indication. NGC and PCGS have seen approximately 1,200 specimens ranging from PR20 to PR68, most from PR62 to PR64.
This Superb Gem proof displays delicate whispers of cobalt-blue and lavender that become more extensive on the reverse, where they take on a higher degree of intensity. A cameo effect is noted, particularly on the obverse, and all design elements are sharply struck. No mentionable marks are visible on either side. Census: 16 in 67, 1 finer (7/11).
