This is not my coin, I saw it in an auction. I'm not sure I've ever seen a Trade dollar with this many chop marks graded. What grade do you think she earned from PCGS?

Lots of history there. Not sure how you even go about grading that.

That many chops puts this in the damaged category.

I can't make out what's chop mark damage, and what's just damage damage.
AU Details for me, no idea what PCGS said.

If they straight grade this then I'm hanging up my grading hat. True guess is XF details.

Besides all of the the chops, there is environmental damage. Maybe it gets a Genuine - Details.

Wow, that one is a bit of a mess. I can't imagine it wouldn't have a details grade assigned, but what that details grade would be I don't have a clue...

Would that be classified as Altered Surfaces?

As far as I know, any chopmarks get a Details grade at PCGS. I can't see enough of anything else so I agree with @Hondo, Genuine - Details.

PCGS straight grades with a Chop Marks designation (NGC details I believe). This is not a details graded coin - it has a Sheldon scale number.

When I look at this coin, I think fake.
The chop marks are all about the same detail, depth, color, etc.
I also think, what good is a chop mark if they are all "chopped" on top of each other.

there is no way this coin should be in a straight holder. I've seen with quite a bit of chops but not to this extent and PCGS graded them straight if not destroyed. this one imo is XF details (damaged) if they graded it straight then XF both NGC and ANACS from what I see both add a details designation to chopped coins this one was AU Details chop marks at PCGS

Why would they keep chopping a coin that had already been chopped (verified?) so many times before?
