Description
The Dansco Album #6172 is designed specifically for the U.S. Trade Dollars minted from 1873 through 1878. This series was struck with the purpose of facilitating trade in Asia, hence larger silver content and a different scope than circulating dollars. The album is built to showcase and protect your Trade Dollar collection: each coin fits into its own port covered by a clear acetate slide so both sides are viewable and the surfaces are protected. The cover is a rigid simulated leather (“supreme”) binder with gold-embossed lettering. Inside, the inside cover provides historical details of the Trade Dollar — design info, mints (Philadelphia, San Francisco, Carson City), and silver content. The album is constructed for durability and long-term preservation of your coins.
