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.

Get not one coin, but SEVEN New Orleans Mint Morgan Silver Dollars — one each from the first seven years the New Orleans Mint struck the popular coin! $649
View Item |
New Orleans is known as “The Big Easy” for its laid back lifestyle, but there’s nothing laid back about the Morgan Silver Dollars struck by the famous New Orleans Mint. The only U.S. mint to be controlled by three government bodies – the United States of America, the Confederate States of America and the state of Louisiana – the New Orleans Mint minted its last Morgan in 1904.
Besides the popularity of coins struck with the New Orleans Mint’s legendary “O” mint mark, the fact that many of the Morgans struck there were destroyed in silver melts or were worn out in circulation makes O-Mint Morgans some of the most coveted in the entire series. Now you can get not one, but SEVEN New Orleans Mint Morgan Silver Dollars – one each from the first seven years the New Orleans Mint struck the popular coin!
Besides the coveted 1879-O Morgan – the first Morgan struck by the new Orleans Mint – you’ll also get the key date 1883-O, 1884-O and 1885-O Morgans, coins that were almost unheard of until the release of the U.S. Treasury Hoard in the 1960s.
Each collection comes beautifully housed in a custom presentation case and includes a storycard about the New Orleans Mint. Plus, you’ll also save by getting all seven coins now instead of buying them individually.
