- Wonderfully Original Proof 1877 Trade Dollar
1877 Trade Dollar. Proof-65 Cameo (PCGS). CAC.
This breathtakingly beautiful Gem is vividly toned in cobalt blue, charcoal gray and silver-apricot iridescence that leaves areas of brilliance in the center of the reverse and over the right central obverse. Fully struck throughout with memorable eye appeal that is further enhanced by a boldly cameoed finish from the dies. The 1877 has one of, if not the lowest mintage among Proof trade dollars. Either 510 or 710 Proofs were struck, the discrepancy stemming from the uncertain status of 200 coins delivered in February. Were they Proofs or circulation strikes? We may never know. What is known with certainty, however, is that the 1877 is one of the more underrated Proofs of this type, even the often-quoted mintage of 510 pieces insufficient to catch the attention of most collectors who focus on the Proof-only trade dollars of 1878 to 1883. In the finest grades, as here, the Proof 1877 is a formidable condition rarity, the present example ideally suited for inclusion in an advanced specimen type or date set.
PCGS Population: 5; 4 finer in this category (Proof-67+ Cameo finest).
PCGS# 87057. NGC ID: 27YN.
