Probably some sort of stain or very minor damage. Report this Post to the Staff

Kcm Valued Member United States 284 Posts	Posted 04/02/2021 09:22 am If voter suppression is not yet in play, I vote no to a stain. The highest magnified view of the anomaly the posting offers suggests to my mind that the composition is metal particles drawn from the area from 12 o'clock around to 6 o'clock on the anomaly. I see a large cavity to the right of the anomaly probably caused by the needed donation. My guess is it's a phenomenon of either internal or external electrolysis -- impurities in the alloy, perhaps or improper social distancing. Kevin Report this Post to the Staff
