The United States Mint produced the Trade Dollar (a coin not to be confused with the more common silver dollar coins intended for domestic use) from 1873 through 1885. The only silver dollars made during 1872, of the Liberty Seated variety primarily in Philadelphia, are valued in standardized collector's guides from a low of $275.00 (in poor, well-worn condition) to a high of $5,000.00 (for uncirculated, "mint condition" examples).

Specimens examined and graded by reputable, professional organizations command prices, as of March 2013, ranging from $245.00 to $7,000.00, except for extremely rare, nearly-flawless coins, or the few minted in San Francisco or Carson City (indicated by the "S" and "CC" mint marks beneath the eagle on the reverse). As of March 2013, a peak figure of $400,000 is listed for the highest-graded, documented 1872 specimens made in Carson City.

Was there a Trade dollar minted in 1872?

Trade Dollars were minted from 1873 to 1885. The dollar that was minted in 1872 was the Seated Liberty Dollar, if it has a (CC) mintmark and the coin is in good condition, the coin could be worth thousands. *If it says 1872, and Trade Dollar, it is a copy (fake) of a pattern coin from 1873, which used the Seated Liberty obverse and one of two "trade dollar" reverse sides. These copies are readily and cheaply available, and some do not bear the legally-required 'COPY' imprint. Most contain no silver at all.

The 1872 silver dollar does not have 14 stars on it. The 1872 silver dollars contained the 13 stars from the start of the government. The 13 stars represent the first established colonies.

What does a 1872 us trade dollar 420 grains 900 look like?

It wouldn't look like anything because no genuine Trade Dollars were minted in 1872. If you have a coin with that date it's a counterfeit. There were some silver pattern coins dated 1872 that were struck in 1873, but these are already accounted for. They are versions of the Liberty Seated Dollar.

What is the value of an 1872 trade dollar with p mint mark?

You need to look at the coin again. The first US Trade Dollar was issued in 1873. None of them ever had a P mint mark. You very likely have a copy of an 1873 "pattern coin" produced with an 1872 date and any of three "Trade Dollar" reverses. You may be seeing the P of the word COPY that is required to be stamped into the reverse side of the coin. Most of these coins contain no silver or other valuable metals, and are cheaply and readily purchased as replica coins.
