- Lovely and Rare Superb Cameo Proof 1881 Trade Dollar
1881 Trade Dollar. Proof-67 Cameo (PCGS). CAC.
The obverse of this target-toned beauty exhibits rich antique copper toning with blushes of cobalt blue and golden-apricot also evident as one's eye moves toward a circular area of intense silver-white brilliance in the center. The reverse is similar in appearance, albeit with the area of brilliance replaced by a swirl of steel-lilac and champagne-apricot set off center to the viewer's right. The toning is iridescent in quality with even more vivid undertones evident as the surfaces dip into a light. A cameo finish is also readily discernible as direct viewing angles, full striking detail and virtually pristine surfaces further enhancing this coin's already impressive appearance. Just 960 Proof trade dollars were struck in 1881, a figure that is down more than 1,000 pieces from the previous year's Proof tally. Trade dollars had been phased out of their legal tender status by the end of the series and as a result Proofs were made in large numbers for collectors and speculators, but no coins were struck for general circulation after 1878. The present specimen is among the finest known to the major third party certification services, and it is sure to catch the eye of astute bidders.
Provenance: From the Castle Pines Collection.
PCGS Population: just 4; with a single Proof-67+ Cameo finer in this category.
PCGS# 87061. NGC ID: 27YT.
