I had no idea what could have caused this issue, but thanks to searching here I found my answer :) The entire reverse has everything affected to varying degrees. What I found interesting is that the flaws seem to show some layering or flow lines which are visible in the closeups. Just posting these for reference should anyone else need yet another example of this. Report this Post to the Staff

Do I change my subject line in original post, or do I leave it as perhaps a helpful mistake? Edited by PokeyCC 01/20/2023 12:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 01/20/2023 2:50 pm I think Die Deterioration as well, especially at the Morse code message around the rim/edge., but you can see some of it all over. They used those dies during the war until there was nothing left of them. Report this Post to the Staff
