Looks to me like the lighting is playing tricks on you, but don't toss it yet. I am by no means an expert.
Rest in Peace

Centavo, let's see if I can explain this for ya. What you have is Mechanical Damage(machine damage, MD) that is reflecting light, playing tricks, what we call "smoke and Mirrors", not a true image at all. Notice in this diagram, when a strike happens, it is like a hammer hitting a nail. The hammer will bounce upon the nail head, this is a release of energy, it is normal. Dies bounce too, if as here the sharp edge of the die moves upwards at the bounce, it shears off a bit of the details if it turns a bit(is loose). When your pix light source is angled from one direction you see the glare and a false "second image". Hope this helps ya.
