    150 years ago today the first Trade Dollars were struck.

    The Main Page of Wikipedia features the Trade Dollar, and refers you to their full article.
    Very insightful article that provides a detailed look at silver dollars and the economics of the 1870’s…Spark

    And it didn't occur to the Mint (yes, I know, Congress) to issue a commemorative with a blurry design and no luster?
