Chop Marked Morgan - straight grade or Gen-98?

I've got a chop marked Morgan dollar (one chop on Liberty's cheek) that I'll be sending in. It is my *****umption that PCGS will not give it a numeric grade (as they do for chopped Trade dollars), but rather a Genuine details grade with a 98-Damaged as the reason. Am I correct? Anybody ever submitted a chopped Morgan?

Post a pic if you have one, I'm always interested in seeing chopped Morgans.

No, it's a P. The mark appears to be old; the wear around the edges of it matches the wear of the coin. There is no evidence of recent tooling or metal movement. There is a slight bulge on the reverse opposite the chop. I agree, it doesn't look like any others I have seen, but I'm no expert on chops.
