I'm not sure that they are tool m arks. I think that it was some damage to the field of the working die. I have 4 of the spurs ... two with the marks and 2 without. I think that only a single working die made the "spur" N but I could be wrong. If so, it can't be a tool mark because then all would have it. I think someone dropped it or scrapped it tossing it on a shelf or removing it from its keepers..
