Trade Dollar

1880 Trade Dollar. Proof-65 (PCGS). OGH--First Generation.

Scarce and inviting Gem quality for this perennially popular trade dollar issue. A richly original coin, both sides are bathed in a bold blend of copper-gray and steel-olive patina. Iridescent undertones are evident at direct lighting angles, which also call forth modest reflective qualities from the fields. Sharply struck with superior surface preservation for both the type and issue. 1880 is the third year in which the Philadelphia Mint struck the trade dollar solely in Proof format, and the second in which it was the only coinage facility to produce examples of this denomination. Survivors from a mintage of 1,987 pieces are always in demand, not only for inclusion in trade dollar date sets, but also as Proof type candidates.

PCGS# 7060. NGC ID: 27YS.

Estimate: $ 5000
