1878 Trade Dollar. Proof-64 NGC.
The deep lilac gray surfaces exhibit flashes of neon blue and rose throughout, especially in a bright light. The strike is sharp and the eye appeal and assigned grade are hand-in-hand for quality. Though the branch mints at San Francisco and Carson City were called upon this year to strike trade dollars, the for-commerce trade dollar ceased to be in Philadelphia where only Proofs were produced from 1878 onward to the close of the series in 1883. If you enjoy a penchant for deeply toned and natural 19th-century coinage, you will do well to cast an eye in this coin’s direction at bidding time.

NGC Census: 81; 57 finer within the Proof designation (Proof-68 finest).
