That is cool!! I'm hoping my next big one will be a US Trade Dollar. Just for the history.... I love unusual or odd coins... I finally got a US twenty cent piece and Half cent.... as well as a half dime.... Just some that you don't hear about or see too often ... Those are the ones that I like... consider unusual or odd.... They all have a story behind them and collecting is becoming such a lost art... I seen someone that had a coin collection and asked to see it... It was just pictures on a phone... didn't have the actual coins... that is what coin collecting is coming to?? I surely hope not!!
I think I have a trade dollar somewhere in my collection. Beautiful coin! I too have the twenty and half dime. I love collection and unusual coins! People like you and I will keep the art alive. And if people stop collecting, that just means that there is more for you and I!
That's great!! I have had a three cent piece for some time... it is part of the 1867 set that I unwittingly put together in separate purchases.. that included the two cent coin, another one that you don't hear about, But just last week I finally added the silver three cent piece to my collection... an 1862 and the day before that added an 1864 two cent piece... Thinking about doing a Civil War set now...
