Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 09/22/2012 06:30 am is that a raised surface or an impression? sort of looks like starting at Jefferson's upper lip an impression starts, then just below his nose the impression stops causing a step up to the normal surface between the nose tip and the E. Is that what you see? Believe that would be struck-through debris of some kind. or my observations may be totally off Edited by Fuzzy317 09/22/2012 06:31 am Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 09/22/2012 07:05 am To me, it looks raised at the tip of the E, but it looks like an impression under the nose. Thus my confusion. I guess I'm leaning toward struck through as you suggest - and partially based on the shape of the thing. Report this Post to the Staff
