RickO,
I love the chop marks on that Trade dollar.
They are very clear and look to be fully struck.

What he said!
NIce one, Ricko. scarce date and nice distinct chops. very choice!
Thank you all..... Yes, the distinct chops are what attracted me to this particular coin, as well as the date. I got this either late 90's or early 2K... cannot recall exactly.... I looked at the TruView today when checking something else and thought it would be nice to show the forum. Cheers, RickO
These chopmarks are nice, sometimes they can be really hard punches and too many, and you can barely see the coin

Nice example, but it's still damaged/mutilated and not "gradable" that is, if there is actually a standard for such things.
Love it, especially the large obverse chop.
There is; our host grades chopmarked Trade Dollars numerically based on the detail remaining on the host coin with the 'Chop Mark' designation, the example above is an XF45.
Nice!
Love it!

Someone post an MS choppy so his brain can explode.
Would it take all that?

Nice example of a chopped dollar!
Love it, Rick. Those are some nice, clean chops.
Cheers

So are coins with other kinds of stamps and mutilation similarly treated -- or would that make "heads explode?" If there is a standard then by definition it must be equally applied.
Personally, I think they are very interesting and and part of the story of US trade with Asian countries - at least as important as the earlier use of standard silver dollars in oriental trade.
Sure. NGC slabs Mel Wacks counterstamped coins.
...and 19th century coins with merchant stamps and names? E & L silver? Do all three major authentication companies agree? If a linear mark cuts a trade dollar rim is it called a "chop mark" and thus gradable or "damage" and not gradable?
The point, for those who might have missed it, is to encourage consistent application of clear, repeatable standards. The same might be said for other fuzzy designations.
Nice example!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Cool character coin Rick!
