Lot 1012
1877 Trade Dollar. NGC graded Proof 64. Only 510 Proofs struck. Even blue and dark green toning on both sides. A hard to believe array of rich antique-gray hues enhance the surfaces of this handsome choice Proof 64 low-mintage Proof Trade dollar. A small region of lighter color is seen at the Liberty's shoulder on the obverse and into the left field. The present prize is quite attractive. Regarding this date, the clearest details are found throughout the peripheral areas and also encompassing the key centers which are crystal clear as noted in gunny sacking that Liberty is seated on, as well as the fine plumage on the eagle. A similar eagle, reduced in size, occurs on the short-lived 1875-78 twenty-cent coinage. There is no shield on its breast as on other 19th century denominations. Pop 58; 23 finer.
Estimated Value $3,800 - 4,000.
