stevieb Valued Member United States 270 Posts	Posted 10/06/2018 4:15 pm The mm looks like it's on stepping stones. If you look at the southern edge you can see multiple steps. I can't find it listed anywhere and I hope that it is a new rpm. I know that it has some circulation but that doesn't account for the steps. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74533 Posts	Posted 10/06/2018 4:50 pm It's Machine Doubling ( Strike Doubling). You can see the metal striations, from the devices being reduced in size. This doubling only happens during the strike. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
