  That’s really cool, I’m trying to remember if I’ve seen a chopped trade with less detail...

  Don’t think the Chinese would stamp an underweight coin like that. I would guess it was an old timers pocket piece due to the retone. Cool coin

  Agree with Crypto, I think it was chopped first then circulated extensively or was a pocket piece.

  The chops on it are pretty kool.

  Were marks punched on the designs as to not be easily worn away?

  That is beautiful. I really like lowballs and that is truly unique.

  Thanks for sharing!

  No, chopmarks were stamped on the coin pretty randomly in most cases.

  Nice. Remarkable that a coin that worn survives without issues that would keep it from straight grading or any coin that worn. I guess that is why straight graded lowballs are uncommon and desirable.

  I always find these interesting they survived enough to get that worn without having anything damage them majorly. Nothing to designate them a details coin! I like it and I am usually not big on chop marks!

  A government accident left me a former man, a potato. That photo on my profile is a low resolution selfie. I like coins.
