It looks like a pit but with some fresh copper poking up in the middle. Could it be damage over the top of a strike through? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5797 Posts	Posted 12/09/2020 07:12 am I agree with John1. It's a little hard to tell if the area is raised or incuse. All that would tell us though is how the damage may have occurred. And most of the time a good image of the reverse can add more info to the story.

roostercogburn Valued Member United States 65 Posts	Posted 12/09/2020 08:58 am It is hard to tell from the pictures. sorry, it is the best I can do. The dark corroded area is slightly incuse, but the very center area of the incused area is not corroded and is slightly raised. It almost looks like there was a Cud, and then most of the Cud was corroded away, except the very center of it. here is a picture of the reverse Report this Post to the Staff
