1876-CC Trade Dollar. Dbld Die Chop Mark PCGS MS61
<b>1876-CC Trade Dollar. Doubled Die Chop Mark. PCGS graded MS61 Doubled Die Chop Mark.</b> Interesting Doubled Die variety that includes a couple of Chinese &#34;chop marks&#34; on the obverse plus several others on the reverse. Many trade dollars were sent overseas and circulated in China, where local merchants would note their acceptance of the coins with their particular stamp or signature. These merchant stamps of approval would be hammered into the coin with a punch, or chop, and have since become known as chop marks. Some individual coins show a few to dozens of chop marks reflecting their days in commerce on the Asian continent. Technically, these circulated; but when sufficient original mint bloom remains to otherwise cause the coin to look as if it were new as seen here, a grade of Mint State is assigned, in spite of the chop marks <b>&#40;PCGS # 77042&#41;</b>
