Product Details: This certified 1880 Trade Silver Dollar $1 coin represents a superb gem proof specimen from a celebrated proof-only mintage struck at the Philadelphia Mint. Issued during the late era of the trade dollar series when coins were produced solely for numismatists rather than foreign commerce, this issue has an extremely limited original mintage of fewer than 2,000 pieces. Designed by Chief Engraver William Barber, the obverse features Lady Liberty seated on bales of wheat holding an olive branch toward the sea, while the reverse depicts a heraldic eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch alongside the legal specifications of weight and fineness. Certified PR 66 CAM by PCGS, this specimen exhibits sharp contrast between deeply reflective mirror fields and frosted relief devices, making it a trophy acquisition for trade dollar specialists, 19th-century silver proof type collectors, and high-tier registry sets.
