c1870-Shows "Trade dollar to Gold Coin to Subsidiary Coin (silver and gold value). American dollar equivalency handwritten in pencil at bottom right. Chart in large letters shows the weights of specific coins and any allowed deviation for normal ware. It is clearly made for use by banks and bullion dealers and shows how many ounces of silver or gold are contained in bags of coins of specific size. For example, a $1000.00 bag of trade dollars contains 875 troy oz of silver and $1000 bag of “American Dollars” contains 859.375 troy ounces of silver. The chart is made on thick card stock and is a classic representation of the coin and bullion business from the heart of the most productive mining era of the 1870s. There are small stains on the card stock. (Top and bottom edges have been slightly cropped in this photograph) Good condition. 10" x 11". HKA#50639
