Featured 1877S US Trade Dollar with Single Chop Mark: Anyone?

This is a paste of a post I left on CoinTalk, June 1 this year. The only helpful response referred me to a subreddit on Chop-marked coins; the few responses all agreed it was interesting, and (as most of these are) that it had been cleaned, but not violently. I cannot even find my thread on Reddit now. If any of you can offer assistance or further direction, I'll be very grateful. Thanks for lookin'!

Good day, mates!
This belongs to a friend who knows even less than I do about numismatics, but "it was Dad's" is all I have...he's 81, his pappy died ~30 years ago.
The coin is in reasonable condition to my eyes; that single chop-mark is why it's before this forum. A quick look says a simple arrow pointed right...but I'm less sure about that assumption the more I look at it. The mark was deeply stamped, resulting in damage to the word FINE on the reverse, as well as a slight 'bubble' at that spot. The obverse I believe shows a single stamp was used to make all 4 'brushstrokes' of that symbol at one blow, but I am not sure about that, either.
If it is not an arrow, then it seems likely the mark is an Asian character...which, singly or in groups or series, I think was pretty common on these as well as a variety of other roughly similar coins used as trade currency globally during that period.
Can anyone please help me to identify the mark, an' its significance on this dollar? Your comments are all mostwelcome, including grading estimates...Thanks for lookin'!
Edit: Weight is 27.3 grams; diameter is ~38mm.

Thank you sincerely, RT...I am most grateful!

 

I had thought of that, an' it's a simple enough symbol to be pictorial...as in very early in the written language...of a dwelling, "house". But there have been no comments about what it is or may represent, except for one that opined it may be unique to a specific merchant. I sure wish I knew.

 

must be a good reason to mess up a coin , if it was done more than once......

@daveydempsey ..... any thoughts ??

 

Fantastic looking coin. High AU grade I think. Should be a desirable item with collectors.

 

Geez Whit-You shoulda come to Us first buddy !

 

You a numismatist, too?
The only forums coins seem to fit here are Metalware an' Silver...neither seemed appropriate, Bosko...Sorry to have snubbed you, amigo.
I'm long on silver, have been for 35 years...a lot of it is in coinage, U.S. an' foreign. I'll post a few as the opportunity presents, see what our illustrious members think of 'em.

 

No way my friend-I'd love to get back on CoinTalk,but I tried adding a new password to it 4-5 years ago and was never,ever,ever able to get back on.
Haven't tried in a few years (the Mods there have sincerely tried, but nada)-just gave up.
PS-I wish you luck on your silver journey my slightly incensed friend.
