History of the U.S. Trade Dollar

In today’s video, I provide an education on the US trade dollar. I explain why it was produced, and what it was used for.  Did you know that it is the only US coin produced in the United States strictly to be exported to be used in commerce in foreign lands? There are many more cool, interesting facts that you will learn if you check out this video!

Trade dollars are quite beautiful. It's kind of fun to get them with chop marks too. Thanks, Josh!

Thanks for making this Video. I bought my first Trade Dollar yesterday because I am beginning to explore beyond my favorite coin series, the Morgan Dollar specifically CC’s.
I am newer to collecting only a couple years in, as once just a stacker.
9:06 I enjoy learning the history behind coinage, more specifically Silver and Gold coins. I have interest in Mexico and even some Ancient coins but mostly good ole US coins. I also bought two graded Roman Empire Denarius Coins. It’s amazing to hold and own a piece of history. Thanks again, I seriously enjoy any informational video or literature I can absorb.

Great video. Educational videos seem to have given way to gloom and doom or bashing the Mint videos. Keep up the good work.

[benreierson]

Great video Josh. I enjoy the educational videos.

Coin show tomorrow in North Idaho. Will look for trade dollars now. Thanks for the knowledge!

Great education. Thanks for encouraging a new generation of numismatic hobbyists and collectors. I have a few questions about the holed Trade Dollars in your layout. I collect holed coins and exonumia and found those very exciting. (1) Do you know anything about where those holed examples were found (Asia or America)? (2) Do holed Trade Dollars come up for sale often? (3) Have you found Trade Dollars that were polished smooth on the back and engraved as love tokens? (4) Please explain the chop marks found on some Trade Dollars. Thanks!

I have a 1799-S Trade Dollar 😂 I guess the counterfeiter didn’t know when Trade Dollars were issued or when the San Francisco Mint opened.

It was Charles E Barber who designed the barber coin series, not his father William Barber

Saya memilki koin trade dollar 1873s 'namun bukan berbahan perak pada umumnya'dan tidak lengket magnet' apakah ada keluaran koin trade dollar seperti yang saya punya trimakasih.

So, if a trade dollar was worth 80 cents, then the uS silver dollar must of been worth less 🤔 so the trade dollar had less silver than a regular US silver dollar?

nice to know that this is one the most faked coins.
maybe a vid on top 10 most faked us coins. that'd be cool.
