Chop Marked Trade Dollar ???????????????????

So once a trade dollar is chop marked, the coin is actually bent? I just got my 1st Trade Dollar it is an AU 50 PCGS 1876 s and it sure looks bent inside the holder. Is that correct?

Could be. I had one with so many chops on one side it was concave/convex. PCGS slabbed and it looked like a miniature salad bowl inside the slab.

Sometimes they will be bent, sometimes they won't be bent. I have a PCGS-slabbed Trade dollar with something like 30-or so chops on one side and that coin is definitely bent.

stamped/chopped coins of all kinds will sometimes cause a bend to the coin......this is taken into consideration when graded and an allowance is made

This is undesirable and a coin with a few well placed chops and little collateral damage are the ones that sell for normal levels. The bent and distorted start diving in price quickly even if they are in PCGS holders

I still think it's a double standard to slab these post mint damaged coins.

Yeah but you still have the choice to buy or not and these are obvious vs. other damage.
