1883 Proof-65 Cameo NGC.
The fully brilliant devices and fields are faintly encircled with iridescent sunset orange, crimson, and blue halos. The strike is sharp throughout save for some central radials on certain obverse stars, yet the eye appeal of the beautiful Proof trade dollar offered here sets a standard for other coins of the same grade. Face-on, the satiny fields enjoy rich cartwheel activity, and at an angle to a light they expand to deeply mirrored pools. The figure of 979 Proofs of the date produced suggests another readily available issue from the tail end of the design type, but 1883 Proof trade dollars are somewhat scarcer than the production tally suggests. Many collectors and specialists are in agreement that a portion of the mintage may have been melted as unsold. All that aside, the appearance of this attractive gem-quality 1883 trade dollar at public auction affords a seldom-seen opportunity for an advanced trade dollar aficionado or a type coin specialist. Choice and appealing at many levels.

NGC Census: 16; 30 finer within the Cameo designation (Proof-68 Cameo finest).
