These coins were being used mostly for trading with China, at the 1800's to the 1930's and silver was the metal that bought the goods. The 4- main countries that minted and used silver trade dollars were England, U.S.A., France and Japan. The Japanese Trade dollars are the hardes to find and most costly. England minted the most coins and over many years. These trade dollars can be fun to look for, but be alert for fake coin. Any coins from a grading known house,such as PCGS, ANACS, or NGC should be fine as you can always check the Id. number on there internet sight. Most of these trade coins had some kind of picture design engraved on one side of the coin showing friendly people in ships or boats trading goods with native-born people.
