The Trade Dollar was a silver coin issued by the United States from 1873 to 1885, specifically designed for international trade with Asia, particularly China. The 1876 Trade Dollar is notable for its distinctive design featuring an allegorical figure of Liberty and its reverse depicting a wreath and the words "ONE DOLLAR." Although primarily intended for trade, Trade Dollars were eventually demonetized for domestic use due to differences in valuation and public resistance. Collectors seek this coin for its historical significance, unique designs, and varying grades which impact its value in the marketplace.
