Trade Dollars were a form of silver coinage issued by the United States in 1873, primarily intended for use in trade with Asia, particularly China. The 1875 Trade Dollar, minted in Philadelphia, features an image of an allegorical female figure representing Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. These coins were produced to compete with foreign silver coins in international markets, and their popularity led to a limited series of issues. The 1875 Trade Dollar is particularly sought after by collectors, especially in higher grades, due to its historical significance and unique design.
