<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tcore, post: 132470, member: 2949&quot;]Ian, NCS (Numismatic Conservation Services) is a sister company of NGC and can be found <a href="http://www.ncscoin.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ncscoin.com/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. NGC does not certify chopmarked coins, so if one wants to have them certified by this company, you send them to NCS.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In his book, Rose indicates that for the most part, around the time that U.S. Trade Dollars were in use in China that larger chopmarks were in style. So, I find it interesting when I see a U.S. Trade Dollar with smaller chop marks. Maybe those people just weren&#039;t <i>hip </i>and a little behind the times. :kewl: </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, I&#039;m really happy to be discussing chopmarked coins with you all here on Coin Talk as it is a topic that has rarely come up here.&nbsp; Feel free to post any coins you have with chop marks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
