1876 Trade Dollar. PCGS graded MS-65 PQ. Wonderful old time toning: olive-green around all of the devices and legends; lilac toned in the fields. As pretty and as original as they come. Housed in an old, green-label holder. PCGS reports 14 in this grade, with 7 higher (all in MS-66).
Gem Trade Dollars of any date are incredibly rare. Even after 17 years of grading coins, fewer than 150 Trade Dollars have earned a grade of MS-65 or above -- this out of the nearly 5,000 coins submitted! (Photo). Estimate $7,000-8,000. |

1878-S Trade Dollar. AU-50. Numerous light surface marks, none of which are noticeable or distracting. Lightly cleaned years ago, now with a golden color re-forming at the rims. Flat rim scrape at 1:30 on the obverse. Estimate $125-150. |

1880 Trade Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 62. PQ. Scarce Proof-only date, with a mintage of only 1,987 coins. The toning is somewhat dusky, but the overall quality suggests a higher grade. To it's credit, the reverse is particularly bright and reflective. In an old, green-label PCGS holder.
Despite the discontinuance of the Trade Dollar in 1878, and its replacement by the Morgan Dollar, collector demand for the Trade Dollar continued unabated. In fact, Proof mintages after 1878 are among the highest in the series and 1880 tops them all! (Photo). Estimate $1,300-1,400. |
