"C" and "A" in America are partially thin or gone.. is this a strike through grease or a filled die? Is there a difference? Or is it something else all together? I apologize in advance for the photos.. still working on the out of focus issue.. thanks everybody.. Report this Post to the Staff

Grease filled maybe, but all devises in the close ups seem thinned out. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 05/06/2017 11:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
