Fairly common to see these chopped. How would it grade at PCGS?

I'd like to see larger photos, but my first reaction was AU 50.
74cc is actually more common chopped than unchopped.
XF details cleaned, maybe AU cleaned if it has some pop/luster left.
Cool coin, just a little over dipped
A graded AU for comparison

I'll guess AU-58. Opps, someone added another image to your thread. Sorry!
40ish
Enlarging the images, looks XF to me. here is my AU chopped for comparison,


I'm at 50ish.

Thanks for the feedback, NGC details as they do with chopmarked: http://www.sloatcoins.com/itemdetail.asp?sec=1-2&type=S&item=5559 I was thinking to cross it, but then saw the cleaning.
These are fairly common, as chopmarked Trade Dollars go. You can find a nicer, original XF-AU example if you wait a bit.

Surfaces are poor, low to mid XF detail. As others have said, the 74-CC is pretty affordable/plentiful at the high XF to low AU w/ chops. Unless you're picking it up for an unusual chop or variety, I'd say spring for an undipped piece in the low AU range.
XF40 IMO.... It could be the pictures.... Cheers, RickO
I would give it a 55 (details, looks a little too white, cleaned? white balance?)
