1875 Trade Dollar. Type I/II. Proof-65 (PCGS). This gorgeous specimen exhibits vivid multicolored toning that is most impressive under direct lighting. The strike is full from the rims to the centers, and the delicate mirrored fields are exceptionally smooth by the standards of this conditionally challenging type. The 1875 is the third issue in the Proof trade dollar series of 1873 to 1883, and it has a mintage of 700 pieces. The delivery comprised coins of both the Type I/I and Type I/II hub combinations; the latter is by far the more plentiful. The easiest way to identify the Type II reverse hub is by the lack of a berry on the olive branch directly below the eagle's left talon. Although often overshadowed by their Proof-only counterparts of 1878 to 1883, the early Proof trade dollars such as the 1873, 1874 and 1875 are actually scarcer in today's market, and also more challenging to locate in grades above Proof-64, as here. The Proof 1875 is even more desirable due to its association by date and issuing mint with the low mintage circulation strike 1875, an issue with just 218,200 pieces produced. Exceptionally well preserved with outstanding visual appeal, this lovely Gem Proof would serve as a highlight in any advanced collection.
