I'm thinking (but not 100% sure) all these chopmark coins in slabs should say detailed.

Good question, I have never paid attention.
This particular example would not seem a logical submission candidate.

AU-55 Details, cleaned and chopmarked. Probably straight graded by PCGS as AU-55 though.

She graded PCGS Genuine, Cleaned -AU Detail, Chop Mark.
I love the Chop Marks and trying to find out what they mean so I can see aprox. where it was at the time in 1878. This was the last year of business strikes too.

Definitely the Chop Marks add character and are proof they performed the service they were destined for.

I don't know much about these chop mark coins. Couldn't these be easily counterfeit or fake chop marks? Seems like they could easily be replicated or made.  On the other hand, I ask myself why would someone want to intentionally damage/deface these coins? |

I'm not a big fan of chop marked Trade dollars, but that one has more character and appeal than most. |

For Trade dollars it's kind of counter productive though, there's enough already and a decent number of people dislike them shrinking the potential market. The ones that get the most scrutiny are when you see them on unusual things like a Seated dollar or Half |
