JustRandomCoins Valued Member Australia 101 Posts	Posted 05/13/2026 04:26 am Oh my bad I should have made it so everyone could understand and see the difference, I've uploaded two examples so hopefully it's within. You will notice the top picture (of the two) has a circle, ok using that circled you can compare to the normal picture (bottom photo) (just an example photo to compare with) with the bottom picture you can hopefully see there is a difference (between the top and bottom photo), let me know if you need me to explain it some more to place it within. That aside thank you, youspider083 and jbuck, I was guessing just Die Deterioration, thought maybe it had a specific name or something, yah never know, only just learnt "orange peel" yesterday. As for the platypus tongue error, I'm guessing it's usually a 2017 kinda thing, I wonder if anyone else has come across it on the 2021 as well?

JustRandomCoins Valued Member Australia 101 Posts	Posted 05/13/2026 05:41 am Wouldn't a microscope be lovely !! Know what I'm working with? A plano convex lens I took from a telescope. A keen eye would notice the 3 1/2 claw holding the lens. Edited by JustRandomCoins 05/13/2026 05:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
