<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tamaracian, post: 8129232, member: 23122&quot;]Those punch marks are not representative of typical &quot;Chop Marks&quot; as there are no discernible characters, only (by my count) 19 triangular-shaped punch marks, and 2 crescent-shaped punch marks.&nbsp; Many of the triangular-shaped punch marks are so deep that they deformed the opposite side of the coin; IMO, someone intentionally used these punches to simulate (badly, IMO) a Trade Dollar that had circulated in Far East commerce in order to (hopefully) increase its attractiveness to the uninformed (in actuality, a genuine Trade Dollar of the same year, mint mark, and condition has a higher resale value than a Trade dollar with chop marks has).</p><p><br /></p><p>If genuine, whatever value the coin may have had has been destroyed by the defacing; I would open a RETURN by first contacting the Seller (bypasspawn2012) and telling them that their Listing is INACURATE in that their Description of &quot;PUCH (sic PUNCH)/CHOP MARKS&quot; are not true&nbsp; &quot;Chop Marks&quot; but are instead defacing, and ask them to accept the RETURN at their expense; if they balk at that, open a RETURN for SNAD.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
