Proof Trade Dollars
1880 T$1 PR67 Cameo PCGS. While this issue is generally available for a price and even Cameo coins are offered with some regularity, Superb Gem Cameos are very rare. Only nine other pieces have been so graded by PCGS, with one in 67+, and none finer (11/16). The surfaces on this piece are completely brilliant, and the fields are deeply mirrored. The devices display appreciable mint frost that sparks considerable contrast against the illimitable depth of mirrored reflectivity in the fields. Full, pinpoint striking details also complement surfaces that are essentially free of contact marks and other distractions.
