United States Trade Silver Dollars were minted from 1873-1885. These coins were issued solely for circulation in the Orient to compete with dollar sized coins from other countries. Trade Dollars weigh slightly more than a standard U.S. silver dollar, and many of the examples that circulated in the Orient were counter-stamped with characters known as "chop marks." The "chop marked" coins generally bring less than the normal examples we offer here. Trade Dollars were struck at three mints: Philadelphia, San Francisco and Carson City. Examples minted from 1879 to 1885 were struck in proof format only. The 1884 and 1885 dated Trade Dollars are extremely rare and are considered two of the rarest United States coins.
Dates on these random year coins will be of our choosing and are determined by our current inventory on hand.
