RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 05/31/2023 7:41 pm I just remembered the conversation about "Starburst Effect " I'm pretty sure I have another LMC with the same flares around the memorial. That's how I put it down as UFO flares a few years ago. Would you consider this might be what Mike was talking about? Report this Post to the Staff

The Berm link I gave you is isolated to one area, not the whole coin. That is what has me perplexed. A loose term at this point. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 05/31/2023 10:34 pm Well that's ok. Just thought it might be. Gotta admit it's a pretty cool/different looking deterioration. The spikes, are they flowing to the rim or away. Not that it makes a big difference? Just curious. Edited by RobO411 06/01/2023 08:53 am Report this Post to the Staff
