Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 09/21/2019 08:34 am @lainmejia, it doesn't look like a plating bubble to me, but to eliminate this possibility, can you please confirm that it won't depress with firm pressure from a wooden toothpick?

lainmejia Valued Member United States 74 Posts	Posted 09/21/2019 09:55 am @spence...I did the test, but the shape does not change at all...I took new pictures and also I was trying to match the shape with other shapes and letters and I just found 2 possible matches. You can see those matches in the image G. Edited by lainmejia 09/21/2019 09:56 am Report this Post to the Staff
