1874 T$1 PR64 Cameo NGC. "Patched Letters Reverse," as are most extant proof 1874 Trade Dollars. After the first-year 1873, the 1874 is the rarest proof Trade Dollar produced through 1883. As with the preceding year, proofs of this type were not popular with collectors in 1874, and the survival of high grade examples was more a matter of chance than deliberate numismatic activity. This is a lovely near-Gem whose shimmering fields would probably warrant a higher grade were it not for a lone distraction on the obverse above Liberty's outstretched arm. Both sides are toned in olive-gray shades that brighten to golden hues at direct angles. The devices are frosted in finish and, with the exception of the eagle's right (facing) leg, are sharply struck in all areas. An attractively original and boldly cameoed example. Population: 7 in 64 Cameo, with just two finer (7/02).From the Andy Geosits Collection of Trade Dollars. Important notice: We expect to be auctioning lots at the rate of 200-250 per hour.
