Proof Trade Dollars
1881 T$1 PR64 PCGS. Interest in Trade dollar proofs was on the wane in 1881, and the Mint responded by limiting the mintage to 960 pieces -- a large decrease from the previous two years. Natural, variegated patina settles over the mirrored obverse fields and smoothly frosted devices of this Choice example. Golden highlights gleam beneath deep-blue and olive-gray shades, which reveal lively violet and lime-green accents when viewed at an angle. Some delicate swirl lines are seen on the reverse. The strike is needle-sharp throughout both sides, not always seen on the 1881 issue, with sharp star centers and strong definition on Liberty's head.
