1874 T$1 PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS
<B>1874 T$1 PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS.</B></I> Proof Trade dollars were struck to the extent of 700 pieces in 1874, and apparently most were sold as part of 1874 silver proof sets. David Bowers contends, however, in his <I>Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States</B></I>, that although 700 may have been distributed, the rate of retaining them was not high, and today hundreds of pieces have been lost. As might be expected, Cameos and Deep Cameos are especially in short supply, as evidenced by PCGS's certification of three so-designated pieces.<BR> The PR65 Deep Cameo in this lot exhibits magnificent field-motif contrast irrespective of the angle of observation. A powerful strike brings out completeness in all of the design features, and whispers of reddish-gold and cobalt-blue make occasional visits to the rim areas. A few barely discernible hairlines in the fields are all that stands in the way of an even higher numerical grade.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
