Often, circulated Trade dollars are found with various Asian merchant marks, which are colloquially referred to as "chop marks" by many in the coin realm.

Obverse Description

Lady Liberty is seated on a stone wall, facing left, with an olive branch in her extended right hand and a ribbon bearing the word LIBERTY in her resting left hand. IN GOD WE TRUST us carved into the base and her seat is otherwise adorned with a bundle of wheat. 13 stars adorn the periphery with the date at the lower middle. Type I obverse features ends of scroll pointing left; extended hand has three fingers.

Reverse Description

An eagle is centered in the design with the weight of the coin listed below as "420 GRAINS. 900 FINE." The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and TRADE DOLLAR adorn the top and bottom periphery with a ribbon stating the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM above the eagle's head. The mint mark is positioned below the eagle and weight text, above the "E D" of TRADE DOLLAR. Reverse type I with the berry under the eagle's left (viewer's right) claw; arrowhead ends over the 0 in "420".
