Trading The Dollar
What do u think about a 1878 Silver Dollar Trade coin?
It is says that a 1878 Silver Dollar is made of 90% silver 10% copper. What do you think of this? How sure are we that this 1878 Silver Dollar Trade Coin is really made of such? is not possible that it might be also made of alloy or any other element?
Not only was the 1878 Trade Dollar made of 90% silver and 10% copper, so were all the other Trade Dollars made from 1873 to 1885. Not to mention all other dollar coins minted in 1935 or earlier, with the exception of the gold dollar minted in 1849 to 1889 which was 90% gold and 10% copper.
What makes you skeptical that the Trade Dollar is not 90% silver and 10% copper? Should we also be skeptical that the current presidential dollars are not 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% magnessium and 2% nickel? Maybe those are really made of some other alloy or element too.
The fact of the matter is that in earlier days it was felt that coins needed to be made of precious metals and the amount of material needed to be “worth” its denominational value. This became increasingly difficult to do as economies begain to grow, inflation levels rose and the values of these precious metals increased. In fact any quarter, nickel or dime made in 1964 or earlier are also 90% silver.

Trading Places – Widescreen Collector’s Dubbed $6.99 The “nature-nurture” theory that motivated so many Three Stooges comedies is the basis of John Landis’s hit comedy. The fabulously wealthy but morally bankrupt Duke brothers (Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche) make a one-dollar bet over heredity vs. environment. Curious as to what might happen if different lifestyles were reversed, they arrange for impoverished street hustler Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) to be placed in the lap of luxury and trained for a cushy career in commodities brokerage. Simultaneously, they set about to reduce aristocratic yuppie Louis Winthorpe III (Dan Aykroyd to poverty and disgrace, hiring a prostitute (Jamie Lee Curtis) to hasten his downfall. When Billy Ray figures out that the brothers intend to dump him back on the streets once their experiment is complete, he seeks out Winthorpe, and together the pauper-turned-prince and prince-turned-pauper plot an uproarious revenge. With the good-hearted prostitute and Winthorpe’s faithful butler (Denholm Elliott) as their accomplices, they set about to hit the brothers where it really hurts: in the pocketbook. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi |
