ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19177 Posts	Posted 04/16/2021 07:31 am Yes, took a hit. Copper, being a relatively soft metal, can be moved/re-shaped when hit. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 04/16/2021 09:04 am to the CCF! It looks like vending/gum machine damage. The angle of the damage on the 2 is parallel to the rim.
