Hello, I have a 1875 cc Trade dollar that is chopped. This is my first Trade dollar. I am comfortable grading other coins, but when learned about the Trade dollars, being chopped is a desirable trait to some collectors. I am not sure now to arade and value this coin. would appreciate any and all feedback. Thank you.      Edited by Rye

AU details, chopmarks, cleaned They've been selling (full retail) around $550-$600 w/AU details and chopped at auction lately, yours is a bit rough in a couple areas so I'd put $400-$450 on it full retail. edit:  Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

The chopmarks resulted in severe damage to this piece and it has been cleaned as noted above. I'd probably go XF Details - Damaged. I found this AU Details piece that sold a few months ago on Heritage for $384 and your piece in raw, damaged condition should be comparable. It almost looks like some silver was removed from the reverse AM in AMERICA. https://coins.ha.com/itm/trade-doll...ption-071515Edited by BH1964

I personally despise chop marks. But to each his own.

EF-45 chop marked. The good part is it looks genuine.

to the CCF To my eye that mess of chop marks on the obverse center is simply distracting. It's chopped to the point where I call it details damaged. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

 I don't mind a few chops, but this is kind of mutilated. XF Details (damage and cleaned). |
