Placing a value on chopmarked Trade dollars is extremely difficult to do, as the value is to a large extent tied to the chopmarks themselves, which are unique to each coin.
In general, Trade dollars that are common, or commonly found chopmarked, such as the 1875-S and 1877-S, are valued considerably less than their non-chopmarked counterparts. Trade dollars that are rare, or rarely found chopmarked, such as the 1875-P and 1878-CC, are valued considerably more than their non-chopmarked counterparts.
In both cases, though, the variation is quite wide.

To save room on the label, they'll just replace 'unc details' with MS6
<< <i>I have a novel idea - pcgs could call it unc details and assign it a desirabilty grade of 0-10

Silly TDN, how do you not realize that no chopmarked Trade Dollar is desirable!

I would give up if I was them, to much variance to produce a honest reflection of a fickle public's opinion on value.

I'm not certain, but don't they just link the unchopmarked value? If so, very misleading
On my website that I created long ago, I tried to do a chopmark value system

I'd love to buy an 1875 gem bu chopmark trade dollar for 4k (and probably 10x that much!)
Thanks for sharing.
