[QUOTE="doug444, post: 2683043, member: 38849"]One thing that IS apparently correct about the OP's coin is the "4" in the date, with its serif below the bottoms of the other three numerals, and the upright slanted slightly, LL to UR. I looked at two dozen 1874 trade dollars on eBay and they all had that characteristic of the date, mostly graded examples. Would all mint marks show that same peculiarity in the date, or just the products of one mint? Who added the mint mark at that point in history, Philadelphia or the branch Mints?[/QUOTE]
