NGC Expert Comments:
The United States trade dollar was initially successful in its intended role but ran afoul of declining silver prices and abuse of the coins in domestic circulation. This collection includes all of the issues intended for general circulation, some 18 coins in all. Each is Choice or Gem Mint State, and all of the entries are accompanied by photos and background text which make this collection a real educational tool. Highlights include the rare 1873-CC in MS-64, 1875 grading MS-65, the popular 1875-S/CC variety in MS-64, 1877-S in MS-66 (ex: Eliasberg) and the rare 1878-CC certified as MS64 (ex: Norweb).
