1878 Trade Dollar. Proof-64 Cameo (PCGS). CAC.
Toning enthusiasts really need to see this beautiful coin to appreciate it. Spectacular target-like toning in multiple iridescent colors includes powder blue, reddish-apricot, antique-gold and steely-lilac. Softer olive-gray forms the base of the toning and rounds out the very attractive appearance. Equally impressive on the technical side with full striking detail and strong reflectivity in the fields. The first of the Proof-only trade dollars, the 1878 is very popular with specimen type collectors. Very few survivors from the mintage of 900 pieces are as carefully preserved and aesthetically appealing as this premium quality example.
