1874 S Trade Dollar

Notes: Cheap silver allowed the United States to create these dollars for primary use in the East. The coins were demonetized in 1876 as the coins were being traded for less than $1 (yes these coins at one point were worth less than a dollar).

How much is a 1874 S Trade Dollar worth?

In Average Circulated (AC) condition it's worth around $95.00, one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $2,417 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say Average Circulated, we mean in a similar condition to other coins circulated in 1874, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. *** [?].
