cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 07/22/2015 6:19 pm I am thinking that it would almost have to be a struck though error, because if much metal were missing, we would see the Zinc showing through. EDIT: Unless the metal was removed before the plating process. Edited by cwb 07/22/2015 6:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Chronoswiss Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 07/22/2015 8:03 pm I assume if it was a struck through error,!the designer initials, especially the B would be damaged? Report this Post to the Staff
