Lot 2587		1878-CC. PCGS graded VF-30. Lightly toned. This date, a scarce one with only 97,000 minted, provides eager collectors a splendid opportunity to land an attractive specimen. Carson City struck the Trade Dollar each year from 1873 to 1878, but it is the 1878-CC collectors find the most difficult to acquire in unimpaired circulated condition (PCGS # 7047) . Estimated Value $900 - 1,000. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,783
Lot 2588		1878-S. NGC graded MS-62. A nice BU example with a touch of golden color about the borders. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,200. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,006
Lot 2589		1879. PCGS graded Proof 61. Attractive medium multi-color toning on both sides. The service was a little tough on this one. See if you agree. Only 1,541 coins struck for the year (PCGS # 7059) . Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,300. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,725
Lot 2590		1880. NGC graded Proof 67. Lovely rainbow toning on both sides. Only 1,987 struck. Gentle frosting on motifs (though not so-described on the holder) and heavily mirrored fields form a delightful and bold presence here. One of the carefully minted coins of this year, and the first date of the trade dollar series that saw no branch mint coinage; only Proof trade dollars would be forthcoming henceforth from the Philadelphia Mint. From 1879 until the demise of the series in 1883 (or 1885, depending on just how much of a purist you are where trade dollars are concerned) the small supply of Proofs are all that exist today. Sharply struck and aesthetically appealing, a coin whose beauty is at once captivating as well as definitive of the assigned Proof 67 grade. Pop 16; 1 finer in 68. Estimated Value $14,000 - 15,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 2591		1880. PCGS graded Proof 61. A brilliant white example. Popular proof-only issue. All stars are razor-sharp on this strike, as are other details. Only 960 made (PCGS # 7060) . Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,700. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,040

A total of 1,987 struck for this proof only year (PCGS # 7060) . Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,300. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,955
Lot 2593		1882. NGC graded Proof 58. A slightly circulated example of this proof only year. A total of 1,097 coins struck. By the later-1870s, it became clear to everyone except congressmen that America's Trade Dollar experiment was a failure. Many of these non-monetized coins remained at home instead of circulating abroad, as had been the primary intent. This caused untold grief to workers and small businessmen. Eventually, the wheels of congress began turning: after 1878, only Proofs were struck, exclusively for collectors. And finally, in 1887, our "Coconuts on the Hill" (as H. L. Mencken called these erstwhile DC. gentlemen) put an end to the Trade Dollar experiment. Estimated Value $900 - 1,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,438
Lot 2594		1883. PCGS graded Proof 63 Cameo. A glittering untoned proof example. Only 979 coins struck for the year. A sharply struck example that has original surfaces and uncommonly well preserved appearance. The stars on the obverse are all needle-point sharp, as is the sheaf of wheat. Liberty�s gown lines are fully displayed. A wonderful Choice specimen of this elusive late-proof issue (PCGS # 87063) . Estimated Value $2,400 - 2,500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $3,335
Lot 2595		1878. 7 tail feathers, reverse of 1879. NGC graded MS-66. A frosty white gem which only careful preservation could account for.

Lot 2597		1878-S. PCGS graded MS-66. Lovely rainbow toning on both sides. A simply exquisite Gem, the overlay of colors on the gleaming surfaces gyrate to-and-fro with full, textured luster. As far as the strike goes, putting the results in a few words we can say this first-year 1878-S Morgan was struck with systematic exactness throughout. Pop 554; 37 finer (PCGS # 7082) . Estimated Value $600 - 700. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,725
Lot 2598		1879. PCGS graded Proof 62 Cameo. A brilliant white untoned example. That said, now we cover the strike: this coin, like many Proofs of this period, was struck with scientific precision on the main devices, the dies being nicely frosted in the recesses which left nice cameo contrast on the devices on the finished coin. Only 1,100 Proofs minted (PCGS # 87314) . Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,700. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,955

Lot 2603		1880-CC Reverse of 1878. GSA. NGC graded MS-65. Frosty and untoned. In the black GSA holder. The original mintage figure for this issue is 591,000 pieces. 96,000 examples of this delivery, however, were found to be of insufficient silver fineness by the February 1881 session of the annual Assay Commission.

Lot 2615		1881-CC GSA Hoard. Vam-2. NGC graded MS-65 Deep Prooflike. Totally white and a gem. In the GSA black holder. Fully original on each side, the brilliant surfaces have a sheet of silvery radiance that shimmers and glow with uninterrupted beauty. Where an ineffectual imprint is sometimes left by the rebound of the dies that struck this 1881-CC�s coinage, the opposite is in fact the case here: devices show boldness and clarity plus abnormal detail in the centers. Bidders be warned, you may face stiff competition. Pop 77; 21 finer (PCGS # 8982) . Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $2,300

Lot 2618		1881-CC. PCGS graded MS-64. A choice blast white example.

Lot 2624		1882-S. NGC graded MS-66 Deep Mirror Prooflike. Well struck with blazing mirror surfaces on both sides. The mirror's depth attracts admirers from near and far on high-quality Morgan Sivler Dollars. Confirming the coin's scarcity in this grade, even though '82-S is common in frosty condition, is the low, low NGC census: Pop 9; none finer in DPL . Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,645

Lot 2628		1883-O. NGC graded MS-65 Deep Prooflike PQ. CAC Approved. Old holder. Mostly white with a hint of gold tone around the edges. Pop 58; 2 finer in 66 (PCGS # 97147) . Estimated Value $450 - 500. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $1,150

Lot 2630		1884-S. NGC graded AU-58. Fully lustrous and untoned, just a whisper away from full Mint State. This is an ideal grade for the value-minded Silver Dollar buyer. Whereas 1880-S to 1882-S dollars are extremely common in Mint State, and 1883-S, which costlier, can still be found with ease, the opposite is the issue with 1884-S, which for some reason never turned up in roll quantities, let alone in bags as these prior S-mint dates did (PCGS # 7156) .
