<B>1873 T$1 PR64 PCGS.</B></I> The mintage for this first year proof Trade dollar issue is listed at 865 pieces in the <I>Guide Book, </B></I>but Dave Bowers, in his silver dollar and Trade dollar <I>Encyclopedia, </B></I>indicates that the true mintage may actually be 600 pieces, based upon figures from the 1887 <I>Annual Report of the Director of the Mint</B></I>. This near-Gem specimen is covered by deep cranberry patina, with cobalt-blue accents scattered across the fields and near the borders. Razor-sharp definition is noted on all of the design motifs. A few wispy slide marks in the left obverse field limit the grade, despite being well concealed by the lavish toning. Population: 30 in 64, 6 finer (10/07). <I> </B></I> <I> </B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> William Barber<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
