Lot 653
1882 Trade Dollar. NGC graded Proof 65 Ultra Cameo. Only 1,097 pieces struck in this proof only year. A gem brilliant white example with excellent cameo contrast. The Philadelphia Mint's Proof-only delivery of 1882 Trade Dollars found a fair number of buyers for those days, but compared to modern standards it is very scarce. The 1882 Proof is not as well preserved as one might expect given the circumstances of its issue due to years of neglect and cleaning by collectors and dealers up to the advent of third-party grading in the mid-1980s. PCGS is always very careful when grading these, and bidders can count on a Proof 65 being squarely in the Gem class with no compromises to quality. This glittering representative is a bright, attractive "ultra" cameo on both sides. Fully struck with the look of an even higher grade. Pop 4; 15 finer, 1 in 65 star, 7 in 66, 2 in 66 star, 4 in 67, 1 in 68.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 9,000.
