Description
The 1874 Trade Dollar is a dollar produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Trade Dollars 1873-1885 series. With a mintage of 987,100, this is a scarce issue — the lowest mintage among 4 mint variants, representing only 12% of total production. The obverse features Liberty seated facing left, holding an olive branch extended to the viewer, with a sheaf of wheat behind and the reverse displays an eagle perched on a bale of goods, with an olive branch and three arrows. Production ramped up across Philadelphia, Carson City, and San Francisco as the Trade Dollar gained traction in Pacific trade routes. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $243 to $3.0K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 27.2 grams, 38.1 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7034.
