<B>1874 T$1 PR63 PCGS.</B></I> Even though 700 proofs were produced of the 1874, far fewer are available today. Apparently attrition took a heavy toll on the 1873 and 1874, with many spent for face value. This was reinforced years ago by Bruce Amspacher, who commented: "The rarest of the non-clandestine [<I>i.e.,</B></I> 1884 and 1885] issues in gem condition. Most known specimens are heavily impaired." The fields of this piece are deeply mirrored, and each side displays rich rose and blue toning. The light hairlines that are present (and account for the PR63 grade) are practically invisible with the multiple layers of toning that are present. Population: 46 in 63, 49 finer (2/08).<BR><I>From The Queller Family Collection of Silver Dollars.</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>)
