Often, circulated Trade dollars are found with various Asian merchant marks, which are colloquially referred to as "chop marks" by many in the coin realm.

Obverse Description

Lady Liberty is seated on a stone wall, facing left, with an olive branch in her extended right hand and a ribbon bearing the word LIBERTY in her resting left hand. IN GOD WE TRUST us carved into the base and her seat is otherwise adorned with a bundle of wheat. 13 stars adorn the periphery with the date at the lower middle. Type II obverse features ends of scroll pointing down; extended hand has four fingers.
