"1886-O" Trade over-strike, on 1873-1878 Trade Dollar, Color-Antiqued

Color-antiqued finish. Over-struck on US Trade Silver Dollar (circa 1873-1878).

Trade Dollars were originally minted from 1873 to 1885 at the Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Carson City Mints. Mintages decreased drastically in later years. In the final year (1885) only five were produced (Philadelphia Mint proofs only). None were ever minted with an “1886” date or “O” mint mark.

NOTE: Defacing of US coins is legal so long as the defacement isn't for fraudulent purposes.
By purchasing one or more of these, the buyer agrees to provide full disclosure of their origin when reselling them.

Since these are over-struck on existing coins, there will be evidence of the original coin design showing since the over-strike is usually not perfectly aligned with the original strike.

Do not attempt to use these as legal tender. This product is NOT endorsed or approved by the US Mint, US Treasury, or US Government.
