I would assume you have similar rights as writers do when they sell their book to be made into a movie. William Goldman once wrote that "When you see this message before a movie; 'Adapted from a book by __________' you can safely assume one of the screen writers used the book to prop open a window." james

Yeah, that's pretty much the reverse of a proof...

Well I’m really disappointed that you didn’t post a “Is this an error thread”. I found this one at the gas station just yesterday. Is it valuable?

It was ok until this one.

I shall desist.

The chops are not right except for the large one above the eagle's head.

Hard to be 100% definitive on the coin with those pictures but I don't see anything that stands out right away.

Nevertheless, because of the dubious chops, I wouldn't be comfortable giving it the all clear without an in hand investigation.

I remember a time when chop marked trade dollars sold for more then the non-chop marked coins,
until someone took advantage of this and put fake chop marks on unmarked coins.

At one time Trade Dollars with chops were considered to be damaged and sold for a sharp discount.

Because the trade dollar was demonitized, at times during the great depression they sold for less then face value , sometimes as low as 60-70 cents each.
