[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2385032, member: 56859"]I'm not being deliberately antagonistic-- just curious :) In the new pictures, what looked like gouges from a rotary tool certainly look more like the work of a not-very-sharp chisel. It's certainly a strange thing to do to a coin. As for the odd shape of the missing piece, maybe there was already a crack in the flan and all that chiseling made it crack completely through at that point before the chiseler finished the main cut.[/QUOTE]
