<B>1877 T$1 PR67 NGC.</B></I> A marvelous Superb Gem proof that is virtually incapable of improvement. There is a fair amount of frosting on the devices and the reflectivity of the mirrors is evident below a thick veil of smoky-lilac toning with luxurious accents of blue, gold, and maroon visible when the piece is rotated. At the center of the reverse is a break in the toning where the powerful reflectivity and nice cameo contrast is almost fully revealed. As typically seen on this issue, there is trivial softness of definition on Liberty's head and on the eagle's lower right wings, but otherwise the strike is razor sharp. Except for the virtually unobtainable 1884 and 1885 Trade dollars with a combined mintage of just 15 pieces, the 1877 Trade dollar has the lowest mintage in the series with only 510 pieces. Census: 3 in 67, 0 finer (12/07). A look at our Permanent Auction Archives reveals that we have never offered an example of this issue finer than PR65, making this a special opportunity for the specialist. <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>)
