I like it. It did its job.
The Trade dollars were created to export excess silver from the Comstock. When attempts were made to use them domestically they were shunned by merchants and circulated at a heavy discount. They were also used to cheat workers out of their pay. For years I had no interest in these coins. But recently I became interested in them for their history.
