There are two 1883 copper trade dollars. USPatterns lists the pedigrees but they end in 1977 and 1996.

Are the whereabouts of these coins known today?

The regular dies trial piece in copper. As with most die trials made from the 1860s onward this piece was struck deliberately struck.

Only 2 examples are known including the A.M. Smith (Bolender 2/36 lot 24), Bolender 2/52, Vickery, 72 ANA, Wyoming collection and the Farouk, Crouch-Superior 6/77, Superior 1/96 examples.

    No idea but it looks cool in copper.

    I don't know where the 1883 copper Trade Dollars are now but I'm guessing at least half of them are in Wyoming in an extensive collection of super rare off metal Trade Dollar patterns? I do know where this 1874 copper Trade Dollar is ..... one of three known in private hands...
