Proof Trade Dollars
1875 T$1 PR66 PCGS. Type Two Reverse. Only 700 proof Trade dollars were struck in 1875. The Type Two reverse (with no berry under the eagle's claw) was introduced this year to address striking problems noticed by Chief Coiner A. Louden Snowden. Mint State business-strikes of this date are quite elusive, putting considerable pressure on the small supply of proofs.
This delightful Premium Gem offers well-detailed design elements, with just a touch of the often seen flatness on the stars on the right. The well-preserved surfaces are blanketed in vivid shades of greenish-gold and cobalt-blue toning, with deeply reflective fields underneath. Eye appeal is terrific. Population: 6 in 66 (1 in 66+), 2 finer (11/16).
