The 1878 Trade Dollar is a notable collectible coin from the United States, originally minted to facilitate trade with Asia, particularly China. These coins, valued at one dollar, were intended for use in international commerce rather than domestic circulation. The 1878 issue features the image of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle with a shield on the reverse. Trade Dollars were eventually demonetized, which contributes to their rarity and appeal among collectors, particularly in higher grades.
