coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/09/2021 09:22 am Not a chisel issue, but a cut with a box knife or drywall cutter. When looking at this, you will note the bottom of the trench is flat and there will be moved metal on each side of the cut area. It is too narrow to be a chisel mark and not bent like a chisel would damage the coin. Even a screwdriver would be many times larger than this affected area. Report this Post to the Staff

I pretty much knew it was PMD I just thought it was cool.. thanks guys Report this Post to the Staff
