Lot Title: 1879 NGC PF-65 CAMEO.
Description: The series of proof Trade dollars is probably one of the most underappreciated, since the design, which appears relatively bland in the usual business strike format, is considerably elevated in terms of appeal in proof format, especially with cameo contrast. This captivating gem example possess all the attributes of an ideal pristine type coin, and technical considerations are dispatched readily by the obvious strengths, which include a sensational strike and careful preservation. Surfaces exhibit virtually full brilliance, attenuated only to the slightest extent by an even and consistent layer of eggshell-white patina. Viewing the coin to better advantage with a loupe, very few hairlines can be found on either side, with the most prominent resting in the obverse upper field left of Liberty's head. These are of minimal consequence, accompanied by a few very faint, wispy hairlines scattered across the balance of both sides. The reverse features evidence of a nice doubled-die, including doubling at the bottom of the letters in 420 GRAINS, 900 FINE. and TRADE DOLLAR. While DCAM consideration is precluded by incomplete frost in isolated design low points, viewers will be delighted with the amazing reflectivity found in the fields. An awesome proof type coin!
