TDColl Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 06/08/2010 11:36 pm The variety is most definitely known to exist, it's just that it isn't acknowledged as "worthy of being published" by most popular texts. Unlike Morgan dollars, for example, Trade dollars have languished in the numismatic backwaters for decades. Certainly, a variety such as this is easily recognized, as easily as some of the doubled dies or overdates in other series, and is certainly scarce. If it were in the RedBook, or the CP guide, its value would skyrocket. For now, it is of interest to a small group of specialists in the series. That could change, of course.
