Does PCGS grade & encapsulate coins with the chop mark designation other than Trade Dollars?

GEN is right about the seated halfs, even the nicest 55-s I have ever seen was chop marked in a UNC details holder.

Hmmm... Looks like they'll do it only under the "Genuine" service. Oh well...

When did chop marks first start appearing on U.S. Coinage? I assume it was prior to Trade Dollars?

Trade with China, originally an enterprise of seemingly limited prospects involving significant risk instead turned out to be extremely lucrative. American traders, now with a stable foothold in Canton, were eager to sell their goods to China; the extravagant mandarins in China, in turn, were excited at the idea of buying such goods. The first item that tended to sell in China was Spanish bullion: American traders would devote large sums of money to buying and amassing large quantities of the currency for export to China. Bullion was primarily used to complement the less profitable American goods such as cheese, grain, and rum. Use of bullion eventually became considerable with over $62 million worth of specie traded to China between 1805 and 1825.
The second major —and by far the most lucrative— American export to China was ginseng... Transported from the interiors of Pennsylvania and Virginia to Philadelphia, New York, or Boston, ginseng was then shipped to China and sold for up to 250 times its weight in silver.
Furs were the third-most lucrative American export to China.

The whole article is pretty interesting. We started trading almost immediately after the revolutionary war.
