Description
The 1877 Trade Dollar is a dollar produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Trade Dollars 1873-1885 series. With a mintage of 3.0 million, this is a less common issue — ranked 2nd of 5 mint variants by mintage, with 16% 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. The 1877-S with a mintage of over 9.5 million is the highest-production Trade Dollar and the most available date for type collectors. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $243 to $2.1K 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 #7044.
