Trade Dollar production had a unique, brief issuance by the United States Mint in the 1870s. Authorized by the Coinage Act of 1873, the Trade Dollar was produced predominantly for use in trade in East Asia and was eventually demonetized in the United States in 1876. This 1875-S/CC Trade Dollar is a distinctive piece from the late era of business strikes of the US Trade Dollar, with a scarce S/CC over mintmark. Right now, the 1875-S/CC Trade Dollar Coin in certified condition is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The 1875-S/CC Trade Dollar Coin offered here is in MS63+ condition. Among the higher-quality MS63 specimens, this coin has brilliant, frosted luster with a strong cartwheel visual pattern across the fields of the coin. The central surfaces remain a bright silver with noticeable toning. The coin has crisp rims and well-defined details. The S/CC attribution denotes a unique peculiarity of select Trade Dollars. This Trade Dollar was struck by the San Francisco Mint using a die intended for the Carson City Mint, resulting in a strong S mint mark with a remaining hint of the CC mint mark intended for Carson City coinage.
US Trade Dollars were designed by William Barber, the 5th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint. The coins were largely intended for use in trade and transactions in East Asia, with many of the first trade dollars in 1873 sent to China. However, with the early years of production seeing bullion producers convert large volumes of silver into trade dollars, the coins eventually made their way into American commercial channels. The coins were never intended for use in the American domestic economy, often trading for less than one dollar. The US demonetized its Trade Dollars in 1876, with production ending in 1878.
The obverse of the 1875-S/CC Trade Dollar features a depiction of Seated Liberty. Created by William Barber, the image shows Liberty seated in left-profile relief as her right hand is extended over the sea while clutching an olive branch.
On the reverse of 1875-S/CC Trade Dollar Coins, you’ll find a simple depiction of the American bald eagle. The eagle is shown in front-facing relief with its wings spread as it clutches the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace. The design field includes the nation of issue, silver weight and purity, and the TRADE DOLLAR notation.
