1880 Trade Dollar. Proof-65 Deep Cameo (PCGS). CAC.;This incredible 1880 Gem Cameo Proof trade dollar is brilliant apart from blushes of pale gold iridescence in isolated peripheral areas. The cameo contrast is equally strong and pronounced on both sides. The full strike and silky smooth texture add to the overall desirability. Advanced specimen type and date collectors would be wise to take full advantage of the bidding opportunity presented here.<p>1880 is the third year in which the Philadelphia Mint struck the trade dollar solely in Proof format, and the second in which it was the only coinage facility to produce examples of this denomination. Survivors from a mintage of 1,987 pieces are always in demand, not only for inclusion in trade dollar date sets, but also as Proof type candidates. This is an exceptionally well produced and preserved specimen that will please even the most discerning numismatist.;
