Vermillion Flycatche Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 08/01/2018 12:40 am I've been debating about the TD to add to my 7070 collection. I recently decided that I want a chop marked version in a higher circulated grade, XF or so to crack out its slab and free it back into the wild. I think that is a perfect Trade dollar because chop marks indicate that the coin went out and did its intended job at least for some time. Then I think about the odds of that coin traveling thousands of miles twice across the Pacific Ocean, returning back to America and not ending up melted. That's an amazing history story in hand, in my opinion. I know not all agree but that's part of my fun in collecting. Report this Post to the Staff

That is interesting. Perhaps an expert can comment. Quote: Just got mine in the mail today and it's for my 7070. Love ebay bucks !

Steelers72 Pillar of the Community United States 1448 Posts	Posted 08/01/2018 4:49 pm The trade $ is definitely a pain to acquire a nice example for the type set. Nice design, but I think its scarcity without problems deters people from purchasing...in addition to it being highly counterfeited. These are two examples I have Report this Post to the Staff
