<p>[QUOTE=&quot;YoloBagels, post: 7294429, member: 94739&quot;]I have said it once and I&#039;ll say it again, I am not a big fan of trade dollars. I do not like the design enough to warrant the high premiums they usually command; I would rather put that money into draped/capped bust coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>But as a type collector I still gotta have one for the album. Back in 2019 I bought a really cheap 1878 trade dollar (G Details) with a hole in it, just to fill the bigger hole in my 7070. </p><p><br /></p><p>Last night at the coin club I bought an 1876 trade dollar , FR02 (problem free) for the rock bottom price of $35.</p><p><br /></p><p>So here&#039;s the question. In my type set, do I want to have a trade dollar with low details that is problem free; or should I instead go with a holed one with better details?</p><p><br /></p><p>It really isn&#039;t a big issue, seeing that they are both budget coins. But I believe this represents a larger (and interesting) question in numismatics. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, here are pics of the dollars. Sorry if they&#039;re a bit blurry. </p><p><br /></p><p>[Coin I bought last night]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1276363[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin that was in my Type Set</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1276364[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
