Brand-New Series From the East India Company
GRADED IN PERFECT PROOF CONDITION – Your 2018 Niue One-Ounce Silver British Trade Dollar Proof has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded proof will have ZERO imperfections – showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended.
Struck in a full ounce of 99.9% pure silver, this fantastic first-year entry in a new series honors one of the most widely circulated trade coins of all time – the British Silver Trade Dollar! First struck in 1895, the British Silver Trade Dollar was used exclusively in the Far East and became THE symbol of Great Britain’s vast trading business in the Orient.
Struck in shimmering silver, this $1 Niue legal-tender coin is a restrike of the original Trade Dollar. This new five-year series will continue with designs featuring the Japanese, Chinese, French-Indonesian and U.S. Trade Dollars.
It’s estimated that around 250 million British Silver trade dollars were struck between 1895 and 1937, but due to heavy circulation exclusively in the Far East, very few have seen the light of day in the West. Finding one in nice condition today and securing it for your collection could take years. Just recently an 1895 original in Mint State-62 condition sold for nearly $1,000! Here’s your chance to secure a design inspired by the original, adjusted to add the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, and additional details such as the year and nation of issue.
Just 2,500 proof coins are available worldwide release – an incredibly limited mintage for students of history, coin collectors and silver stackers! Don’t miss this chance to secure one for your collection!
