    Bought yesterday a 1874 s trade dollar that I suppose was used as jewelry, necklace to be exact. I'd say to me it adds historical value since there was demonisation it makes sense how it ended up being a jewelry piece. Thank you for the video!

    I have 1871 USA trade dollar, how much price can it fetch me

      The US didn't produce trade dollars until 1873. If you have a 1871 seated liberty dollar the average is about $500 but it all depends on condition.

      No trade dollars were made in 1872. Any coin shop should be able to tell you what you have.

      The value of your items is dependent on condition. The best way to find their value is to take them to someone who specializes in rare coins to be evaluated.

    What does the 420 grains on the left of the 900 fine mean?

    • @TokensandCoins
      @TokensandCoins  2 года назад +3

      420 grains is the weight of the coin which equals 27.2 grams. A Mexican 8 reales was .903 fineness and 27.07 grams. When you do the math the US Trade Dollar had about 1/2 grain more silver.

    I have one 1877....how much rate value now?

    • @TokensandCoins
      @TokensandCoins  3 года назад

      The value all depends on the condition. The average for a circulated example is probably $150-300 again it depends on condition, if it is closer to mint then the value can be higher.

      A 1798 US silver dollar just has a liberty bust on it.

    • @TokensandCoins

      I would look for a coin shop near you, don't take it to a pawn or jewelry shop, try to find a place that specializes in coins. Take it in and ask them to have a look. They'll tell you if its real and probably offer you a price. You can turn that down (their quote is usually good for a while) and then take it to another shop for a second opinion. If there isn't a second shop near you... or maybe even a first shop then you might want to seek out a coin show (hopefully such things become common again.)
