1881 T$1 Trade, DCAM PR (PCGS#97061)

The June 2013 Baltimore Auction

详细说明: 1881 Trade Dollar. Proof-64 Deep Cameo (PCGS). Fully brilliant and white with no signs of toning on the surfaces. The strike is exceptional and bold, which is important as some of these are found with rather soft strikes for Proofs, and care must be taken when selecting just the right example for a collection. This is one of the earlier strikes when the dies induced the most contrast between the mirror fields and frosted devices, such contrast is sometimes masked by deep toning, but not so here as the color is stark white. The mintage halted after 1,987 pieces were struck, but from this group there are perhaps two or three percent that show this highest degree of contrast. The surfaces and fields are clean and attractive, with the only sign of contact limited to a few wispy hairlines in the mirror surfaces. Bold visual appeal and a perfect selection to represent this type or date.
