[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3942424, member: 77814"]I'm not familiar with "adjustment marks" on Morgans. but, it Depends how it was done. It's obvious it wasn't from an anvil (flat) type of tool which would smoosh it. [ATTACH=full]1039210[/ATTACH] It was from a sharp/cutting type tool. From that shear action that is seen, that would then displace the metal. The metal then could have been torn off never to be seen again. This is an instance where, if you were there doing it or watching you would know exactly what happened. If you weren't, then you are just guessing. We don't know exactly what "tools" were used, we're only taking a guess. Was it held in the hand? affixed to a surface? dropped ? Maybe it was a small chisel (or some chisel-type action) that (using an uneven action) was used as that would be my guess actually looking at the 2 side surfaces and the edges. But then I use small chisels too so I'm familiar with them and what the cutting/chiseling action looks like on metal. But then, it's just another guess as I wasn't there .. and I'm not about to test the theory on one of my Morgans.[/QUOTE]
