Description
The 1876 (CC) Trade Dollar is a dollar produced at the Carson City Mint as part of the Trade Dollars 1873-1885 series. With a mintage of 509,000, this is a scarce issue — ranked 2nd of 3 mint variants by mintage, with 8% of 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. Congress revoked the Trade Dollar's legal tender status for domestic transactions, stranding millions of coins in American circulation at below face value. Struck at the Carson City Mint in Nevada, which operated from 1870 to 1893 and produced coins from Comstock Lode silver and gold — among the most collectible mintmarks in U.S. numismatics. Estimated market value ranges from $716 to $34K 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 #7042.
