I had never seen one before  
This is a fake punched inlay. As you can see it covers up the edgespots otherwise the edge spots would have gone all the way to the shaped part of the inlay. I didn't catch that at first. |

Are you talking about the grand shaped inlay or the occupant? |

It's funny, I did not notice that they were fake 'punched' until you pointed it out, why would they do that I know it has to do with cost but really, how much extra would it cost to do it for real? |

They had to do it on a grand inlay to get King's hair on the chip... The human troll doll...

That is what I was told today. |
