Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/22/2018 12:02 am You have a referenced attribution for it? Didn't think so, becuz, it ain't one, it is damaged. a straight vertica hit has taken that lower serif off. If it was moved or rotated the serif would remained pointing west.

drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 05/22/2018 01:08 am I'd have to agree with Crazyb0 - not an rpm in my opinion. The 1 and the 9 also took hits, the D most likely took a hit too. It also looks very shelf-like, indicative of " Machine Doubling". Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/22/2018 02:20 am The area in question is flat shelf like. If it were a RPM, then would be the same height, and be wider. Just MD altering the MM. Report this Post to the Staff
