1878-S Trade Dollar (T$1)

The 1878-S Trade Dollar is a notable issue within the series, minted during the latter years of the Trade Dollar program, which aimed to facilitate trade in the Orient. The 1878-S boasts a significantly higher mintage than its Philadelphia counterpart, but despite this larger mintage, nice original circulated examples like this one remain highly desirable.

This coin, graded XF45 by PCGS and adorned with a CAC sticker, showcases strong details with light, even wear that ensures all design elements are well-defined. The surfaces are pleasingly smooth with a light-gray patina that adds depth and character. The coin has exceptional eye appeal, making it an excellent addition to any advanced Trade Dollar collection.
