1882 Trade Dollar, PR66 Deep Cameo
One of Only Four Certified

1882 T$1 PR66 Deep Cameo PCGS. Ex: Simpson. Proof Trade dollars were struck at the Philadelphia Mint every year from 1873 to 1885, although the final two issues were extremely rare and likely not a regular Mint issue. Business strikes were struck for only six years and ceased in 1878 as the usefulness of this series dwindled with the drop in the value of silver. The 1882 was thus struck in a limited quantity to satisfy collector demand.
Stunning cameo contrast is seen between the deeply mirrored fields and nicely frosted design elements, appearing nearly black-and-white. Wispy gray accents are seen around the periphery of the obverse, while the reverse has a touch of gold toning at the rims. This boldly struck Premium Gem displays superior eye appeal. Population: 4 in 66, 0 finer (6/10).
