Struck in silver with a reeded edge.

Obverse: Bailly's Liberty design is seated left on the obverse with cotton bales, tobacco plants, and wheat sheaves around her. Her right (facing) hand supports a globe inscribed with LIBERTY while her left holds high a pileus cap.

Reverse: A small eagle atop a shield dominates the reverse with the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and E PLURIBUS UNUM above and 420 GRAINS, 900 FINE and TRADE DOLLAR below.

Comment:
The reeded edge variant of this pattern is by far the most obtainable of the silver, copper, and aluminum pieces struck. The fields are deeply reflective and establish the brilliant background for the frosty devices necessary for premium Cameo designation.

This design is one of the 6 pieces Trade Dollars sold in sets by the Mint
