$1275 		First Year of Issue, Gem Original, Pikes Peak Collection. The first Trade dollars appeared during 1873 as a new exchange mechanism for trade with the Orient. They were legal tender at the outset for amounts of up to $5 in transactions. Most were exported with many returning years later with issues or chop marks. This Pikes Peak release is a true gem at the certified grade with pristine steely fields and reflective radiance under a bright light. The overall originality and eye appeal is quite compelling. If searching for that perfect Trade dollar for a type set, especially for first year issues, this lot is ideal and warrants serious consideration without fears of disappointment upon arrival. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2025) holder with CAC approval. December 1969
