1880. NGC graded Proof 67. Lovely rainbow toning on both sides. Only 1,987 struck. Gentle frosting on motifs (though not so-described on the holder) and heavily mirrored fields form a delightful and bold presence here. One of the carefully minted coins of this year, and the first date of the trade dollar series that saw no branch mint coinage; only Proof trade dollars would be forthcoming henceforth from the Philadelphia Mint. From 1879 until the demise of the series in 1883 (or 1885, depending on just how much of a purist you are where trade dollars are concerned) the small supply of Proofs are all that exist today. Sharply struck and aesthetically appealing, a coin whose beauty is at once captivating as well as definitive of the assigned Proof 67 grade. Pop 16; 1 finer in 68. Estimated Value $14,000 - 15,000.
