Diirizzyl New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 09/19/2016 4:29 pm Both of my first attempts at obtaining a decent Trade dollar were ugly. The first, I was pretty amateurish thinking the poor photos were maybe just a poor attempt on seller's part, since their feedback was exellent and provided a very detailed description. I'm happy to return and accept it as a beginner's mistake And very fortunate to be a member here and have access to all the collective experience and wisdom of you all. Just found a decent deal on a certified xf40 same year for $245 and with that purchase I'm done buying for a while. Now I can focus on examining all I've collected since Spring and start coming up with more good photos and topics for the forum. Here's the coin I just bought http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/G2UAA.../s-l1600.jpg http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/cwYAA.../s-l1600.jpg Edited by Diirizzyl 09/19/2016 9:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4472 Posts	Posted 09/20/2016 2:32 pm You made a nice buy on your XF 40 as the coin is problem free and looks original and is in a PCGS holder. The raw XF coins were selling for $200 and the XF details at $150. The 1877 S is a common date, but PCGS still has only graded 164 is XF 40. I really like the history on the Trade dollars and I have been considering making the Trade dollar my next set to collect. Report this Post to the Staff
Diirizzyl New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 09/20/2016 5:57 pm Are there vams for the Trades like with the Morgans and Peace dollars? Noticed my new pickup has the micro-s mintmark. I'm also interested with history of the rise of modern global economy, and I think the Trade dollars good material examples of the era. Plus, I'm excited to have a contemporary pair to my mysterious-as-heck (1792 Mo) Type II China Trade Boston-produced Portrait Dollar. Anyone reading this thread interested in Swamperbob's expertise with coins of that era? I'm fascinated by the Spanish milled dollars and hope to someday find a Mexico-minted original 8R with trace Au content for my collection.

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4472 Posts	Posted 09/21/2016 12:54 pm Breen did some work on varieties for the Trade dollar. The 1877 S, mirco S is a Breen-5814, and it is rare. Here is a photo from NGC on the mrico s for the 1877 S. The S is .84mm high. I do not have any idea on value for the mirco s. If you do have a mirco s, it is a keeper. Report this Post to the Staff
