<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Neal, post: 26057360, member: 43872&quot;]I think of chop marks somewhat like wear.&nbsp; I have liked history since I was in elementary school, and both wear and chop marks show the coin has a history:&nbsp; it was actually used for the purpose for which it was made.&nbsp; You might have a MS-67 chain cent, but it never bought anything.&nbsp; No 18th century merchant ever handled it.&nbsp; The chop marks show the trade dollar actually circulated, as intended, in the Orient.&nbsp; So, I don&#039;t mind them.&nbsp; On the other hand, given the choice, give me that MS-67, if you please.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
