Hi,
Saw this available for sale. I thought it had nicer, more original surfaces than most. Curious to see your thoughts on if the dig below UNITED would detail the coin a a TPG.

    Hey, not a US coin guy so can't tell you much about the Trade Dollar, but that looks like someone tried piercing the coin. TPG's would call it details, imho.

    It looks more like a drill mark than anything else although it doesn't have the classic trefoil drill look. These sometimes accompany chopmarks.

    It's not for sure but all T$s that I have seen that have only a drill mark (not a chop) will be graded as damaged. Coins that have chops and a drill mark can potentially be numerically graded depending on the rest of the coin's condition.
