It would vary greatly depending on the grade you want. An AU58 PCGS sold this past month at Great Collections for right at $18K. Using the auction company archives as well as the PCGS coinfacts resource will answer these types of questions for you easily.

Thanks but I know where to look, you should have tagged the op as he is the one in need of help.

OK. (I was just trying to give you credit for the source).
Lol, no worries I just figured the new format threw you off and you tagged me by mistake.

Come on you're better than that, shaming a noob for not fully comprehending forum etiquette. How would they know how a bunch of particular old men on the internet like the chat board to behave? At least the question is pertinent and on a interesting coin with no signs of trolling while asking the same questions all noobs asks at some point. As a village elder you should shepherd the calves into the flock right?

To answer the question 1878cc trades are scarce being a famous melt rarity after the Carson City mint received orders to cease production and melt the remaining bags. Coupled to the especially high attrition rate that Trade dollars had anyway as a product for export and as a bullion product that is melted for a host of reasons they are not the type of coins found in every dealers inventory. That said they come up a few times a year in most major retail channels like HA, Great collections and Ebay. 3k should get you a pleasant F12-V20 example depending on look and holder. the old advice of buy the best you can afford is most important on key coins that tend to be the centerpiece of your collection. But coins like that are typically lower risk if properly graded in a TPG slab as the move easy for the right price allowing you to upgrade or get out of mistakes.
Here is a dealer who gets them often enough

Thank you
Get a nice clean grade for yourself to
Hopefully
That's usually the case, but oddly enough, for the 1878-S half dollar, the lower grades have performed better in terms of percent increase in value than the higher grades over the past 25 years. See Len Augsburger's article entitled "Buy the Best You Can Afford" in the Gobrecht Journal Vol. 49.2 (Summer 2023).
This one sold for a bit over 2K, so your quest is not unreasonable.
I have been looking for a 1878 CC Trade Dollar with eye appeal and original skin for a couple of years in the grades from VF30 to XF45 in a PCGS holder. I am willing to pay from $3500 to $7500 depending on grade and condition. The 1878 cc is the key date for the series. Strong competition at the auction houses (Heritage, Stacks, and GC) for a quality example. You might want to consider posting posting on the forum a 78CC trade that you would be interested in buying for comments from the forum members. You might be surprised in the knowledge that @TomB actually has about coins. Welcome to the forum and gook luck in finding a 78CC Trade Dollar at a price that you can afford. Do not buy a raw example as there are many many counterfeit 78CC' Trade Dollars on the market.
Thank you
Expect to pay strong retail. The ones I sometimes acquire have to pay thru the nose to get them. I Just mark them up accordingly.
