Has it passed the acetone test?
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

After reading the die ring entry again, I wonder if it's not a drop of something acidic that etched the die. The perimeter edge of a drop would be where the liquid, die metal, and air intersect.

Those are excellent close up photos. I can see the edge of the raised area.
Don't have a clue what caused it however.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

That sounds like the most reasonable explanation yet. BTW, this is not unique - you can find several just like it on ebay with the mark in the same place. |

If we do not have an answer now, you should definitely keep this and label it for future review.
