Look closely at the reverse above the eagle's head. It appears to be... Another eagle head!

Some have errantly attributed the line to Scooby Do as well.

It is Astro!

I don't really see anything worth worrying about. Just for the sake of argument, let us suppose that whoever counterstamped this Trade Dollar couunterstamped many Trade Dollars. If that person was in the habit of positioning all such Trade Dollars the same, then he may have created a crude false reverse die out of whatever he had the coins sitting on while he counterstamped them. Thus, during the stamping of this coin, it may have been driven down into the false die image.

I am not saying that that is what happened on this coin, but it is a plausible explanation.

I think the problem is that genuine trade dollars aren't supposed to rust.

did you know that on a phone, and with some wear and cleaning, the ribbon looks a little like an eagle's head with beak ?

Just about every 75p type 1/1 I have ever seen in a holder has been a S coin or an impaired proof.
Also DDR has lost a 74p, 76s and maybe more recently to this phenomenon. Danger of the niche I suppose.

It is a nuanced series and it takes tremendous focus to understand to dates and coins. Graders will never have the time to devote to these to make any TPG immune for these types of errors. It is this very reason I use the TPGs as insurance and grade with resale benefits. Never for attribution.

Any specialist would say hey a 75p with a chop mark that is a really rare thing, whooo that is a type 1/1 too. Let me take a closer look as that is all but impossibly rare.

while a grader simply goes
that looks like a 75
that looks like a P
that looks like a Chop
then 85% of his short time is spent looking at the grade.

The attribution isn't really a focus esp when they don't really know what the implications of calling it what they are.

Agree with what Crypto and others have said, most 75-P chopmarked Trade dollars I have seen --including this one that TDN has pointed out-- are actually 75-S.

I did lose my very nice 74-P chopmarked Trade dollar that was in my registry set (originally purchased from TDN), when it turned out to be a 74-S. I removed it from my set and had it reholdered by PCGS as a 74-S.
