Owner Comments:
This 1876-S Trade Dollar was the first for my collection. The Trade Dollar was struck for circulation in 1873 to 1878 to compete with the Mexican dollar in the Orient. The 1876-S has a mintage of just over 5.2 million. Unsure of what the survival rate is. Since these coins were made for trade and circulation in the Orient, I wanted one for my collection that reflected this with what is known as a Chop Mark. This coin is part of my Custom Set: “First US Dollar Study and Collection” as well.
