It seems harder to find them without holes, chop marks, and cleaning than other denominations but I was considering these two. These are the pics I have to buy from but both are PCGS certified: 1875-S VF-35 CAC   |

For me I like the look of the 1875 more. However, I am not very knowledgeable about Trade dollars so have no input other than which one I like looking at more. |

I also like the first one more. It also looks accurately graded. For comparison, heres my 1877 Trade dollar, graded VF-35 by PCGS...   |

Yep, the 1875 looks better to my eye as well. The 1877 looks like a details coin to me - scrubbed.

Nice 1877. I like the first one as well but was thinking of both. I can always upgrade the 1877 down the road

I definitely like the patina of the 1875-S better. The other one has the appearance of an old cleaning, although apparently market acceptable to PCGS.

The 1877 looks VERY abrasively cleaned, IMHO. Buy to keep, not to upgrade! I'd go with the 1875  Edited by ChildOfTheWheat

The 75 s looks original and the type 2 reverse on the 75s is a little harder to find a nice coin to put in your collection. I would pass on the 77s as you can do better on the most common Trade dollar date. |

The 1875 has a more "original" look to me.
If I were given the choice to purchase just one it would be my pick.
And the CAC sticker would most likely nudge me anyway.

Add me to the group that likes the 75 S better.
For the 77 .... because I am not liking the look very much..
It would have to be a very good price for me to buy it

I'd pass on both. Try to get one that looks like CC2012's as that is completely original.

The 75 has much more eye appeal.
If the price is right I'd go with it over the other one.

Bought the 1875 passed on the 1877
I would have expected the 77 to be graded details or cleaned or something

Have to agree with TypeCoin - I don't particularly care for either, and certainly not the clearly cleaned '77.  |
