<B>1882 T$1 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC.</B></I> A magnificent, all-white example of this popular, late-date Trade dollar with a mintage of only 1,097 pieces, all proofs. The fields are deeply reflective and mirror-like. The devices are thickly frosted. The combination of the two yields a profound white-on-black cameo contrast. An interesting feature on this piece is seen on the obverse rim at 3 and 9 o'clock. At first glance it appears these are two rim bumps. Closer examination, however, shows that a tiny bit of metal was rolled over the rim at each location. We have seen this on other coins, and frankly not paid much attention to it. It is worthy of note on a proof coin, though. If we were to speculate, we would say it has something to do with the die ejection process, but we leave the final word to those who have made a more in-depth study of the technical aspects of the minting process. Census: 10 in 66 Ultra Cameo, 4 finer (3/08).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
