Nice to see you back in the fold. I'm always curious about that seller on eBay, he seems to come across a lot of trade dollars but the quality varies.

That is pretty nice
Collector, occasional seller
Nice piece, some interesting die cracks on the reverse. You getting back into chopmarked Trade Dollars, or is this more of a fun pickup?
Heck of an example there TDN!
More of a fun pickup. I always watch ngc graded chops for examples of high quality
Especially nice that the anvil side of the chop is entirely inside the tailfeathers. Usually, it is an unappealing bulge in the fields.
Really nice!

Very nice, what did NGC grade it?
‘Uncirculated details- chopmarked’
That’s as good as they give - but it encompasses a huge range of actual quality
Nice coin- terrific addition
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Thought about crossing to PCGS for a numerical grade?
I haven’t gotten it in hand yet - depends on how I like it in person
Would the scratch prevent a straight grade at PCGS?
For that one, I say no way. Maybe it will knock off a half or whole Point, but to condemn it for that little scratch would be preposterous based on what I’m seeing.

Cool score, i like 👍
I really like it.
Does a chop mark decrease the purchase price?

Depends on the circumstances; chops frequently lower the price on common date or low-grade examples, but rarely encountered dates (like the 1873-P or 1875-P, which is near-nonexistent with chops) typically get strong premiums. There's also strong competition for condition census examples, with an active collecting scene on the PCGS Registry.
TDN,
Awesome, gorgeous coin! Just the "right" appearance for a chopmarked coin IMO.

It’s really nice in hand. I’d grade it 64 without the chop
It’s barely noticeable
Looking forward to seeing a grade if you decide to submit. It's great to be surprised by a coin.

I believe that's the famous "bustier" chopmark.
I certainly would hope not, but who knows?
I have an 1874-S trade dollar with a dozen or more chopmarks on it, and it has a straight grade. That little scratch on that beautiful coin should not be a huge problem.
