Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 08/01/2015 4:19 pm I see zinc rot running along the rim. Do you think the raised areas indicated by the arrows are zinc rot getting ready to erupt or die chips or something else? Thanks for any help! Report this Post to the Staff

profiler Valued Member United States 144 Posts	Posted 08/01/2015 5:51 pm Might be more of a scuff than Die Deterioration: The other devices look fairly crisp. As for the raised area, you can probe it with a sliver of unreconstituted virgin birch (a toothpick -- lol) and if it gives way or flattens, then it's a gas bubble. If it's a solid mass, then it's a small die chip. Based on the shape and that there's a plating disturbance there, I'd vote for gas bubble. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 08/01/2015 5:59 pm I didn't think of a gas bubble...I'll try that and let you know. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 08/01/2015 6:04 pm Gas bubbles. Although, I think the T took a little hit and it might just be a lump of displace metal. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 08/01/2015 7:17 pm Okay - if they are gas bubbles...a toothpick doesn't show it. I am starting to think die chips - but very strange? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/03/2015 02:15 am Note the split plating on the rim? It is probably starting to rot under that area. It makes the surface raise in that area and still be firm. (well for now anyway) Eventually it will fall inward. Report this Post to the Staff
