Every once in a while, ebay comes thru. This coin is the nicest I've seen for the date [where I was certain the chops were authentic].

    I had no idea there were counterfeit chop marks out there. Doesn't surprise me though.

    Good eye and catch image

    Is there a reference of all the different authentic and counterfeit chop marks seen somewhere?

    Is that something that would be sent to PCGS? JUST CURIOUS

    Do the different types and styles of chopmarks come from different merchants who handled the coin? And, can some of those merchants be identified by their mark?

    Russ, I believe the answer to the first question is "yes". To the 2nd one....they probably could have, back in the days, and back in China. Harder here and now.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Cool, I need one for my type set. Do you think a chopped trade dollar is appropriate for a type set or would you go with a non-chopped one.

    Why would anyone countfeit chop marks? Do they make trade dollars more valuable? Chop marked trade dollars always traded at a discount in the past.

    Looks like it was only spent as many times as it has chopmarks.

    Very nice, love it. Makes me want to expand my chopped trade dollar collection and start collecting again.

    Don't know, but I wasn't comfortable with this coin. 12 is not a chinese character.

    the second coin with the 12 looks much more original.

    Pictures can be deceiving. I grade the coin MS61/62. It's fully prooflike and unmessed with IMO.

    I have a couple contemporary (relatively contemporary) counterfeit trade dollars that have chop marks, including one that's an opium dollar. I enjoy collecting them.

    That is a really nice coin TDN.
    Every so often you see some coins posted here that show chop marks that area raised ??????
    This one you posted sure looks like the real deal.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
