1879 T$1 PR67 S Cameo NGC. The final business strike
<B>1879 T$1 PR67 <img border='0' src='http://www.heritagecoins.com/images/star.gif' width=10 height=10> Cameo NGC.</B></I> The final business strike Trade dollars were minted in 1878, in Carson City and San Francisco, after Treasury Secretary John Sherman decreed that production cease. This decree did not extend to proof coinage, however, and proof-only issues were made from 1879 until the end of the series. The current offering is a magnificent Superb Gem representative of the 1879 issue. Careful examination of the piece reveals razor-sharp definition of all design elements, including denticles, obverse stars, and the head detail of Liberty. The trickier reverse elements, including the eagle's wing feathers and talons, are likewise crisply delineated. Fully brilliant and nearly pristine, the piece exhibits deep mirror fields and richly frosted devices, resulting in a lovely, stark cameo contrast on both sides. One of only two PR67 Cameo coins to receive the "Star" designation, for exceptional eye appeal, from NGC (11/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
