mrak Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 04/03/2023 9:30 pm Weight is as expected @ 11.35 grams so am expecting this to be PMD. In hand, I am thinking this looks to be intentional instead of environmental, but that's a guess. If the former, any ideas what process could have been used? ...and no, it wasn't me who thumbed it all up, lol. Report this Post to the Staff
