US Trade Dollars – 1873 to 1885
US Trade Dollars is yet another incredibly hot coin collectible out there. With their limited mint years and interesting history, they’ve become more and more popular over the last few years. US Trade Dollars were minted exclusively for trade with Asian nations (China, Korea and Japan).
With the current rise in metal prices, some of these larger silver coins have become a bargain to purchase for additional silver stock piles. The US Trade Dollar is similar to other silver coins minted for US circulation (90% silver 10% copper), but the US Trade Dollar is a bit heavier at 420 grains. Common dollars (such as the Morgan Silver Dollar) weigh in at 412.5 grains.
US Trade Dollars were only minted from 1873 to 1885 and was designed by William Barber.
