Chopmarks from one side screw up the relief of the other side. Since both sides are pretty well hacked, there are going to be odd lumps all over the place.
OK, knowing zero about chop marks I have to say...if the coin is legit that the repetive chop marks would cause strange marks on both sides. Imagie if a chop mark was made in the exact same spot on the other side of the coin, could this not result in what used to be a recessed chop mark now being destorted due to the newer chop mark on the other side. Just a thought?
If my logic makes sense, could this not result in strange looking pitting on the reverse of previous chop marks

Odd lumps, yes. But odd pits?
