<B>1881 T$1 PR66 Cameo NGC.</B></I> With total production of just 960 pieces, the 1881 Trade dollar has the lowest mintage among generally available issues of the denomination's proof-only era. High-end examples prove elusive, and specimens with solid contrast offer an even greater challenge. The present coin is richly toned, yet offers undeniable contrast. The fields show hazy silver-gray and champagne patina over watery mirrors, while the devices display delicate ivory-gold toning. Deeper orange, rose, cobalt, and magenta shadings drape the margins on each side. The overall preservation is exquisite, and no overt distractions appear to the unaided eye. In sum, a marvelous survivor. Census: 15 in 66 Cameo, 12 finer (2/08).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
