1882 Trade Dollar. Proof-66 (PCGS). OGH.This Gem Proof offers superior technical quality with razor sharp striking detail. Snowy-white luster at the central obverse is accented by splashes of golden color at the rims. The reverse is more deeply toned in golden-tan patina which glows in electric-blue and tangerine iridescence under a light source. A watery reflectivity shimmers in the fields and imparts the most dramatic contrast on the obverse. Eagerly sought for both specimen type and date purposes, the 1882 Trade dollar is a Proof-only issue with 1,097 pieces produced. Most examples are found in grades of Proof-64 and lower due to hairlines and other signs of mishandling. Only 175 coins survive at the Proof-65 level or finer. Just 6 coins have been graded finer than this Proof-66 by PCGS and the Old Green Holder surely adds further desirability!PCGS# 7062. NGC ID: 27YU.
