1878-S T$1 Chopmarked MS62 认证号21809508, PCGS号87048

One of the most common Trade dollars with a relatively high mintage, the 78-S is somewhat difficult to find with chopmarks. Of all the S-mint Trade dollars, why was the 78-S less likely to be used in commerce with China? This one is beautifully toned, with an arabic numeral chopmark "12." Chinese merchants occasionally used arabic numerals for chopmarks.
