The 1873 United States One Dollar coin, often referred to as the Trade Dollar, was designed for international trade and features a depiction of Lady Liberty and an eagle.

The 1873 issue is particularly significant as it marks a year of transition in the coin's design and production, making it a sought-after item among collectors. Its rarity and historical context contribute to its value in the numismatic market.
