Interesting, never heard of them, but I checked my Krause 36th edition book and they are listed as KM#T5a in 2 different dates:
1901 B (Proof, Restrike)
1902 B (Proof, Restrike)

Both are valued at $7,500

Well, checked my Krause 1801-1900 5th edition and found a few more:
1895B
1895
1896B
1897B
1897
1898B
1899B
1900B

They are all proof, restrike and listed at $7,500 each

I saw a picture of one once. I think it was from one of those Heritage magazines. Not a catalog, but a magazine/brochure that shows some of the stuff Heritage has sold. If anybody has those saved, look there.

Edit: I looked at some of the Heritage magazines online and couldn't find anything. The publication I saw was more like a brochure.

Last Edit: Maybe it was Spinks. Here's a link to a photo. Gold Trade Dollar. About half way down.

Yea, that 7500 figure is very very conservative...At least three to four times that I would guess.

<< <i>Yea, that 7500 figure is very very conservative...At least three to four times that I would guess. >>

Good guess. The article says:

<< <i>The Trade Dollar is estimated at HK$160,000-200,000 (up to US$25,800). >>
