British Trade Dollar

[coinquest 0]

I know nothing about coin collecting but have been given a couple of interesting items:-

1. A British trade dollar dated 1895

2. A large bronze Coin? 75mm diam. Inscribed around the edge "Presented to THE RIVER STEAM NAVIGATION CO. By The Committee March1892"

I have attached pictures of the trade dollar the other will have to go on a seperate posting due to file size.

Sorry forgot to ask after messing with file sizes to post the pics. Basically any info about trade dollars would be much appreciated.

Your pictures are very pixelated to see anything on it, i think you have böown a very small picture to the extreme and has therefor distorted the image

I do not believe that brilliant images are needed if coinquest asked for "info about trade dollars"...

So, here is a link that provides some concise information that might 'enlighten' you: http://silvercoinand.com/british-trade-dollar.html

I just sold two of these, they didn't make big bucks but as soon as I'd posted them off I rather regretted it; actually rather nice 'big' coins and there's plenty of detail on the obverse.

Um ... is there a particular reason you haven't mentioned Edward VII florins?

You can't have a point for each denomination in the series, you get one point for the bullion Britannia's

Yes, those and the trade dollars, any more ?
