T1Steel Pillar of the Community Canada 623 Posts	Posted 03/16/2017 1:16 pm @ace - at the base of the E-N the dark spot it does look like it does (through my loupe), but very faintly. I can not seem to get a better picture of that area though. I am guessing it is still only worth melt,strictly for the niche collector or am I wrong there? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
