Chop marks are rare on Seated Quarters so...

When I saw this Ebay auction I had to look.
1855 Quarter
Someone needs to talk to this boy and explain what chopmarks are.

    I see that all the time. People either assume the cuts and gouges on their coins are rare "chopmarks" or they know better and are trying to rip off other collectors.

    So what's more rare-chopmarks on a seated quarter or chopmarks on a 93 Colombus half or chops on a Morgan?
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
