New Trade Dollar with TONS of Chopmarks... high up on the coolness scale!

[airplanenut]

I just got this one today... It's an 1874-CC, but there's a chopmark opposite the CC, so it's VERY hard to see. The closeup is the best I could do (the large one is a little blurry because the camera was so closely focused that a tiny movement blurred it).

 

Anyhoo, I hope you like this one--I think it's really cool

Great coin! I'd love a trade dollar like that one!

 

This, "there's a chopmark opposite the CC, so it's VERY hard to see" should read, "there's a chopmark opposite the CC, so it's VERY hard to see, see."

Very cool, Jeremy!

 

Wanna know what all those chops say? Translated loosely, it says: "Stop defacing me already, you dolt. Can't you see where it says 420 grains, .900 finess? Stupid Orientals!"

Holy chop mark coinman!

 

That trade dollar looks like it must have passed through every merchant in every country in the orient.

 

Cool coin Jeremy.
