1880 T$1 PR67 NGC. The 1880 Trade dollar is a proof-on
<B>1880 T$1 PR67 NGC.</B></I> The 1880 Trade dollar is a proof-only issue, as were all Trade dollars struck from 1879 on. Of the 1,987 coins struck this year, David Bowers, in his <I>Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States,</B></I> estimates that 1,300 to 1,700 examples still exist. This estimate may be a bit high, at least if the certified population figures are any indication. NGC and PCGS have seen approximately 1,000 specimens, ranging from PR20 to PR68, the majority of these being PR62 to PR64.<BR> This Superb Gem example displays delicate whispers of cobalt-blue and lavender, that become more extensive on the reverse where they take on a higher degree of intensity. A cameo-like effect is noted, particularly on the obverse, and all of the design elements are sharply struck. No mentionable marks are visible on either side. Census: 17 in 67, 1 finer (1/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
