Proof Trade Dollars
1882 T$1 PR67 Ultra Cameo NGC. Only proof Trade dollars were coined at Philadelphia from 1878 until the end of the series. Most of the 1,097 proof Trade dollars of 1882 were struck during the first quarter of the year, with additional small groups struck through December.
This technically superior specimen has many components that add to its overwhelming eye appeal. Most obvious is its contrast, with thick mint frost over the central devices, sharply struck rather than the flatness sometimes seen. A few small polished areas in the middles of the devices add visual interest.
While the fields themselves are minimally toned, each side takes on a suggestion of color thanks to significant peripheral patina. Delicate gold shadings encircle each side, covering the rims, with occasional elements of deeper rose, plum, and claret overlaid. This creates a noteworthy juxtaposition, not only between frost and mirror, but between the black-and-white of the centers and the color of the rims. Overall, a fantastic Superb Gem that should attract plenty of attention. Census: 5 in 67 Ultra Cameo (1 in 67★), 1 finer (3/17).
