1880 Proof-65 DCAM PCGS.
“Exceptional” is practically an understatement with the present Gem Proof trade dollar. The design motifs are frosty and the fields are satiny when viewed head-on, yet deeply mirrored when tilted in a bright light source. Full mint brilliance yields to faint champagne-gold in the dentils on the obverse, while the reverse displays a whisper of pale gold throughout that deepens peripherally. The Proof mintage for the date was astounding -- 1,987 pieces -- when compared to most other dates in the series, and represented the absolute zenith of Proof production and investor speculation for the design type.

That the present needle-sharp beauty has survived 137 years and still comes out as one of the finest examples of the date extant is a marvel in itself. This coin deserves a trip to CAC. Be forewarned – to see this coin is to love it, and you won’t be the only interested party when it crosses the auction block.

PCGS Population: 4; 3 finer within the DCAM designation (Proof-67 DCAM finest).
