My local store is offering them for $300 base plus another $50-100 depending on the date. Is that a good deal or a bad one?  |

What grades? That seems high to me.

Value on Numismedia is around 180-250, unless Carson City mint marks. But I may be missing something, hopefully someone else will be chiming in soon.

I think that is awful high for a VF and even a little high for a XF. Chop marks should lower the price in my opinion not raise them but still no matter what if they are not CC or a key date that price is way to high. I paid half of that for mine and it is at least AU-50 (this was a couple years ago but they haven't changed in price that much since then)

They have three. Two 1875-s and one 1878-s.

I have heard that some of the Chinese counterfeit Trade dollars look as good or better compared to authentic ones minted in the States. Since the original question did not specify Trade dollar pricing for real or fake ones what would one pay for a 90% silver ungraded, non-slabbed fake common date Trade dollar whose characteristics and features are virtually 99.9% impossible to distinguish from a genuine one?  I personally have come into contact with several of these. mdpmedia |

I recently purchased a 1876-S Trade dollar in VF-30 grade for $180.00 if that helps.  |

That is a little salty, I would think you could get a pretty good one for under $200. Depending on the grade you want, low $100s might be feasible too.

The US Mints had different quotas for different year Trade dollars. Some years' output are rarer and thus more expensive. Different Mints also had different minting numbers. That affects cost. Different grades of any Trade dollar are more/less expensive. Damage and chopmarks also affect the cost. Bottom line: there's no easy answer.  Each Trade dollar would need to be judged independently. |
