<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 26038041, member: 1765&quot;]Chop marks on trade dollars are considered a special type of damage that PCGS allows to be present on a coin given a &quot;problem free&quot; grade, presumably due to the market treating them as not as undesirable as the other damage, or even a light cleaning. They have registry sets specifically for chop marked coins, and they have a different coin number from the unchopped coins, meaning you can&#039;t use a chopped coin in a normal registry set.&nbsp; If they &quot;details&quot; graded a chop marked coin, with the way their registry works the coin would only get one point for being in a set, regardless of the details grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
