Well, the 1804 and the Heraldic Eagle Reverse are basically the same thing. Although the 1804 has a couple varieties...it is a Draped Bust Dollar with the Heraldic Eagle Reverse. So, I'd group all those together.

As for the Trade Dollar, I like them but it's just not my favorite design...I'd like to have one, but they are OK. I think a lot of people think of that way. Plus, they didn't circulate in the US so a lot of people don't consider them a "US dollar" coin.

my opinion is thats incorrect. even though they were coins that were for oversea trade. Espescially in the orient, also i really like a nice trade dollar even with "chop marks" i think the oriental symbols make the trade dollar a very unique and intresting piece. even though the design is not near my favorite....

That's my point...it seems like everyone really likes these coins but very few consider them their favorite.

I think one of the reasons they haven't gotten any votes is your poll consists of only "dollar" coins. While the Trade Dollar is a dollar, most collectors segregate it from other American Dollars in their mind because of what it was used for. I think it would get votes in a poll where there was a "wider" spread of types of coins. It would be like if you included a commemorate coin in this poll, people just look at them differently. Don't get me wrong, I like the Trade Dollar a lot.
