I pick them up randomly when I see value. The last nice one was an 1877-CC.

I like your 1874-s Chop Marked dollar and your approach (CAC) to your collection.

How about adding a counterstamped (USA merchant), a box dollar and a love token Trade dollar to the set? This would make a "rounded" set of twenty. |

Every now and then I see a 79, 80 and 82 for sale somewhere.
I also remember being astonished once to see an 1883 for sale, and they weren't asking a mint for it.
I have an 1878-CC, but it's in lousy shape.

Very nice collection. I have 15 of the 17 in my Trade dollar set. My set has NGC, PCGS some with CAC stickers and small ANACS soap holders with grades from VF30 to MS63. I still need the 1878 CC and the 1876 CC and I am debating if I want to spend 10K to finish the set. I have bid on a few of the key dates at auction and missed. There was a guy that had all XF45 PCGS CAC that sold recently at auction. It is a difficult set to do in all CAC. My debating did not last long as I purchased the 1878 CC Trade dollar PCGS CAC VF 35 today, so I am down to one coin to complete the set. Edited by Slider23

Thanks all!

I had my eye on it, ever since it auctioned at Heritage awhile ago, but has been out of my budget. Quote:
