Dasaki Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 11/28/2014 8:40 pm I pulled this from a roll and didn't think anything of the shape until just recently when I was giving it another look. The shape isn't a trick of the camera, it's not entirely round, more like a slightly squashed egg shape in hand. Closer to the size of a dime than a cent, as almost every edge of a LWC was visible around it when I stacked them, and the weight is 2.9 grams. I am entirely stumped. Report this Post to the Staff

Dasaki Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 11/28/2014 9:24 pm I'll try and take a picture of the overlap when I get a moment. But working retail, this time of the year, I have to run! Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 11/29/2014 12:15 am Hmm...it looks distorted somehow. Perhaps it was removed from some kind of casing? But usually you see distinct damage around the rims on those. Edited by DVCollector 11/29/2014 1:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
