1880 T$1 PR63 PCGS CAC

The 1880 Trade Dollar is a Proof-only issue, struck exclusively for collectors, with a mintage of just 1,987 pieces. As no business strikes were produced for circulation, this issue remains a sought-after acquisition for type collectors. This Select Proof example displays a sharply defined strike, bringing out the intricate details of both the obverse and reverse designs. The surfaces exhibit a satiny texture, further complemented by a captivating patina that blends warm golden-brown, coppery-orange, deep blue, and violet hues, adding exceptional depth and character. As one of the best-produced issues in the series, the 1880 Trade Dollar is highly coveted, particularly in high-grade examples with exceptional eye appeal. With a PCGS Price Guide valuation of $3,850 and a CAC Price Guide valuation of $3,600, this piece is a prime acquisition for the discerning collector. The most recent CAC sale realized $3,600 at Heritage Auctions on 11/24 for an un-toned coin whilst since then the last sale was for $3,720 03/25 HA for a NON-CAC PCGS PR63 coin. This Gem Proof example exemplifies the superior craftsmanship of the Philadelphia Mint and stands as an outstanding representative of the Trade Dollar series.

Note - the color pops only when tilted under the right angle for this piece.
