<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tdogchristy90, post: 1667709, member: 35778&quot;]So ive been studying trade dollars. Learning that they were made to ease trade with china. Likewise, the Chinese merchants would scar the coins to determine their validity. So here&#039;s where my question cones in. I usually stay away from detailed coins because it&#039;s kind of a designation that says the coins has been ruined. However, these marks on the trade dollars are part of the history unlike a cleaned detail coin. So when you see a detailed trade dollar by PCGS is it detailed cause its cleaned or cause its marked. Could you have a genuine designation trade dollar that is perfect and uncleaned but gets the designation cause of the chop mark?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
