If you are like most people, American silver eagles and silver dollar rounds have simply gotten "too expensive" to use as everyday gifts or prizes. These gorgeous PURE COPPER rounds are designed to look like a $300.00 Silver Trade Dollar but contain no silver. Instead, they are struck from one ounce of .999 pure copper and are a fraction of the cost of a silver coin or round!

These non-legal-tender "coins" are 39 mm in diameter and have a proof like finish and are made by a private mint.

The original United States Trade Dollars were issued by the US Mint from 1873 to 1885 and were intended to stimulate trade with the Orient -- China in particular. The classic obverse features a seated Lady Liberty extending an olive branch, surrounded by 13 stars and was originally designed by William Barber, the US Mint's chief engraver from 1869 to 1879. The reverse design features a stylized USA flag and eagle with the date (2012) and the words "ONE AVDP OUNCE - COPPER .999 FINE".

FINALLY... a nice Trade Dollar style "coin" that everyone can afford!

NOTE: Does not contain any silver.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING QUALITY: These rounds are mass produced by a private mint and we get them from the exact same supplier as all other coin dealers. The quality will be acceptable to below average when compared to US Mint coins since the copper is quite soft and no special care is made at the manufacturer when they pack the rounds into the loose-fitting tubes. Minor blemishes are possible since these rounds are so inexpensive. Some people expect to receive perfect, proof-strike coins that look like a $50 US Mint coin. These on the other hand are generic low-cost copper rounds. Please DO NOT BUY if you are looking for perfect quality. These rounds are NOT RETURNABLE for any reason.
