Proof Trade Dollars
1883 T$1 PR67 PCGS. The 1883 Trade dollar is a rarity at the Superb Gem level, with or without cameo contrast. At PCGS, six non-Cameos are designated PR67 with none finer; a pair of Cameos are reported in this numeric grade, also with none finer, and the best Deep Cameo at that service is a lone PR65 coin (11/16). This example is beautifully toned, but modest field-device contrast on each side just barely misses a Cameo designation. The strike is full throughout, and both sides offer deeply reflective fields. Beautiful toning embraces the obverse with vivid blue and violet borders around a light golden interior. The reverse shows mottled tan-gold coloration. Population: 6 in 67, 0 finer (11/16).
