Yes...Rose's book...if you can find it.... It shows up on ebay from time to time (none there now, I checked)....and a quick google did not show any for sale.... Cheers, RickO
Former(?) Forum member Crypto lent me his Rose book. So cool I actually sent it back.
Revelatory breadth and depth any dilettante (moi) or specialist should value as seminal and definitive.
Cataloguers !!! Tie any of these to a Brayzher doubloon or Regulated coinage and you've got an easy half-page.

As others have said, the Rose publication, which is titled "Chopmarks"; originally published in '87 and with a reprint in the early 2000's. If you have the choice, locate the original, as the image quality is superior.
Since it has not been mentioned, "Chopmarked Coins - A History", by Colin Gullberg was published a few years ago. Essentially an updated version of the Rose book, covering primarily the rarity of various host coins w/ chops, but also chopmark types, history w/ respect to trade, etc. Much better images as well.
Also, the "Chopmark News" back issues can be purchased directly from Mr. Gullberg for relatively little, and a subscription to the publication is inexpensive. The issues currently being produced are as long as 50 pages (and are distributed digitally, primarily). A lot of information included as well, including new discoveries and ongoing research by members of the Chopmark Collectors Club.
I am interested in obtaining some past newsletters from this club, as well as a copy of Gullberg's book. I had sent a message, but l still not received any response yet.
Thank you! I have had the Rose book for some time; l am interested in acquiring the Gullberg book. I recently viewed Gullberg’s talk at the A.N.A. , but the video was made some five years ago.

Yes, the Chopmarked Collectors Club does have an index of chopmarks. Colin Gullberg can hook you up.
