The Trade Dollar, issued by the United States from 1873 to 1885, was specifically designed for international trade, particularly with East Asian markets. The 1874 Trade Dollar features an Obverse design depicting Lady Liberty and a Reverse design showcasing an eagle. These coins are made of 90% silver and were initially intended to compete with foreign silver currencies. Although they circulated in commerce, they were eventually discontinued due to their intrinsic silver value exceeding their face value, leading to hoarding by collectors. Mintmarks on the 1874 Trade Dollar, such as those from the San Francisco Mint (S), can significantly affect its rarity and value among collectors.
