1882 Trade Dollar. Proof-66 Cameo (PCGS).
This Gem Proof offers superior technical quality with razor sharp striking detail. Light silver at the central obverse is accented by splashes of olive-rose color at the rim. The reverse is more deeply toned in steel-blue and copper-rose iridescence. A watery reflectivity shimmers in the fields and imparts the most dramatic contrast on the obverse. Eagerly sought for both specimen type and date purposes, the 1882 Trade dollar is a Proof-only issue with 1,097 pieces produced. Most examples are found in grades of Proof-64 and lower due to hairlines and other signs of mishandling. Only 175 coins survive at the Proof-65 level or finer.
