1875 S Trade Dollar, need help...

If you don't mind saying, how much did it finally sell for? I know @Morgandude11 is quite adamant that it has "no value" and is "not marketable", but if multiple people bid against it, maybe that gives it a "market-oid pseudo-value"...

What I mean is that it is a damaged, and significantly de-valued coin. Every coin has value--some have sentimental value, some financial, and some just melt.

 

That was exactly what I was suggesting. Most raw trade dollars are raw for a reason, given the increased value and higher prices for good specimens. They are either damaged (cleaned so badly that there is minimal value over melt, unless they are good dates), or not genuine. If one wants a trade dollar raw, buy a decent one in a slab and crack it out--that is how bad the market is for raw Trades.

 

Sell for $ 177

 

Thanks.!

 

You'll be happy in the long run you passed that 76 is a beauty. Save a little more wait and buy a really quality trade. There a beautiful coin and youlk be proud to own a nice one would be a cornerstone in any collection

 

I will reiterate what I have said many times--DO NOT buy raw Trade Dollars, unless you're an expert. It is the most counterfeited US coin. Get a nice example of a 75s or 76s in a slab--they are reasonably priced.

 

75-78-s and 77 p are very common finding a high quality one for a reasonable price shouldn't be hard. I'll agree totally with Morgandude on buying slabbed there's tons of fakes and 50% of the real ones have problems
