<Our item number 105827><B>1876 Trade Dollar. NGC graded Proof 65.</B> Nice shades of green and lilac toning. A razor-sharp gem of the finest order for this year, only a few have been graded higher. Careening mirror luster echos the nicely toned surfaces. Impressive for the date, easily finer in sharpness than others embossed with a Proof 66 label. Given the time and the place, this coin was struck at an historical moment in American history: the Centennial of the country&#39;s declaration of independence from Great Britain. No, you are not seeing a ghost out of the past, this is a real, shimmering Gem Proof that has been carefully preserved by its former owners. A great opportunity for today&#39;s buyer. One of 1,150 Proofs struck. <B>Pop 15; 5 finer; 4 in 66; 1 in 67.</B> <BR><BR>With an original mintage of 1,150 pieces, the 1876 appears like is should be one of the more readily available dates in this series, at least in an absolute sense. Surprisingly, Gem quality survivors are scarce, and they can be as difficult to locate as those of the first-year 1873. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;5,500-6,000. <I><BR>Ex Dr. Hesselgesser.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 105827<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/39jpegs/105827.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/39jpegs/105827N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
