Speaking of Chopmarks.... (inspired by stealer's thread)

I was enjoying the pics of stealer's really nice chopmarked Trade Dollars when I started to wonder....

Has any collector here ever obtained an actual punch that was used to make chopmarks back in those days?

What an incredible exonumia collectible that would be.

    I believe it was postulated in earlier threads that none have ever been found. During the great leap forward, the Chinese melted everything they could get their hands on to increase their steel output.
