<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3215733, member: 72790&quot;]I was able to contact a person on another site who is deemed to be knowledgeable in the area of chop marks. He seems to be concerned that the marks may not have been done in China and that it will be very difficult to establish that they were. I don&#039;t think any of the verifying services would attempt to do that. He suggested that I might want to advertise the coin on a well know sales site with the admonition that the chop marks might not be authentic. I don&#039;t think I will do that for several reasons. I would like to thank all the posters who replied to this thread for the information they offered. As I said to the gentleman who was concerned with the authenticity of the chop marks, I will just keep the coin as a curiosity and an example of a type coin as 1807 was its first year of issue for the capped bust half dollar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
