<p>[QUOTE="KSorbo, post: 24823798, member: 56370"]My understanding is that coins like this one with a single well placed chop mark on one or both sides, and otherwise fully original, are especially desirable. I have a non-chopped straight graded Trade Dollar in my collection, and would love to also have a problem free chopped one. Some still consider chops to be damaged, but it is something with historical significance. As opposed to other damage like whizzing or scrubbing with a Brillo pad.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like [USER=95843]@mbogoman[/USER] I think the price paid for a raw coin that has been seriously messed with seems quite high.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
