<B>1879 T$1 PR67 Cameo NGC.</B></I> Seldom does an 1879 Trade dollar come along that has the awe-inspiring cameo contrast that is evident on both sides of the present specimen. Both the devices and the fields are devoid of distracting blemishes, and there is no mentionable toning, save for a bare hint of golden color near the borders on each side. Every feature rises sharply above the glassy fields with full striking definition and bountiful mint frost. While we typically have the good fortunate of offering several 1879 Trade dollars each year, the appearance of a Superb Gem in one of our auctions is truly a special occasion for bidders. For future pedigree purposes, a couple of tiny lintmarks were struck into the reverse field; one above the first L of DOLLAR, the other above the olive leaf between the right wing and leg. A coin that will form the centerpiece of any advanced collection. Census: 16 in 67 Cameo, 8 finer (12/07).<BR><I>From The Southwest Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
