Lot 546
1880 Trade Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 62. PQ. Scarce Proof-only date, with a mintage of only 1,987 coins. The toning is somewhat dusky, but the overall quality suggests a higher grade. To it's credit, the reverse is particularly bright and reflective. In an old, green-label PCGS holder.
Despite the discontinuance of the Trade Dollar in 1878, and its replacement by the Morgan Dollar, collector demand for the Trade Dollar continued unabated. In fact, Proof mintages after 1878 are among the highest in the series and 1880 tops them all! (PCGS # 7060) .
Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,400.
