1883 Trade Silver Dollar NGC Proof
Nowadays, we're well aware of China's impact on the world economy, but it's really nothing new. Back in the 19th century China's economy was so powerful, the U.S. Mint was almost forced to make these 90% silver Trade Dollars to satisfy the Chinese. You see, they have more silver than regular U.S. Silver Dollars, and that's what Chinese merchants wanted. So many are marked with Chinese characters to verify their weight that they're much harder to find and much more desirable without them. They're even more rare as Proofs. We have one Proof example here graded by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as Improperly Cleaned. It's still an incredibly rare coin as only 979 were minted in 1883. Very few survive.
