1875 Trade Dollar. Type I/II. MS-63 (PCGS).；This 1875 trade dollar presents pleasingly toned surfaces in a blend of champagne-apricot and light gray patina. Boldly defined in most areas, both sides are uniformly lustrous and satiny. While by 1875 the trade dollar had proven its worth in overseas commerce, the Philadelphia Mint produced just 218,200 circulation strikes that year. That facilitys location on the far side of the country from popular embarkation ports in California probably contributed to the size of the mintage. Indeed, with so few chopmarked examples known, the 1875 probably saw only limited overseas circulation with many examples likely being use in domestic commerce. Mint State examples are scarce, and most are of the Type I/II hub combination, as here.；
