1880 Trade Dollar. Proof-65 Cameo (NGC).,This is a lovely Gem Cameo example of an ever popular Proof-only trade dollar. The fully impressed devices exhibit a satiny texture that contrasts markedly with reflective fields. It is virtually brilliant with a silky smooth appearance, and there is much to recommend this delightful piece to high quality type and date collectors.
