ter215 Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 08/15/2016 7:24 pm hello coop , ...the outer ear turns in and flows inward connecting to the inner lobe.....maybe a crack like you mention? ....thanks for your time Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/15/2016 8:52 pm That image shows it better. Die crack. First time I've seen one there. But looking again, it looks like it may have been detached and more to that location. Is it gray where the metal takes a turn? If so, then it is damaged. If it has the copper intact then it might be a die crack. Tough call from the image provided. Report this Post to the Staff
ter215 Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 08/15/2016 9:34 pm i don't see any hit mark, no change of color....that just flows right to the other side of the lobe and attaches flows as one there....it's crazy? like one piece all the way around.....thanks so much coop you have been great !!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/15/2016 11:48 pm The first image shows what I think is damage. You can see where the metal is pushed in that image. Well that is what I see. PSD Report this Post to the Staff
ter215 Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 08/15/2016 11:59 pm hey coop.....but if I pushed them back together they wouldn't line up, they are to long....this pours to a very thin point like lead almost, hard to explain. it does not look hit or moved by something.....but I'm no expert....thank you again coop.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/16/2016 09:19 am Kind of like stretched metal? That is what a surface does when it takes a hit. Either way die crack or damage they don't add a premium for it. Just something interesting to look at. Report this Post to the Staff
