And then you can only see the outline of the five at best. Also, the model on the top edge begins to fade beginning at the U and the letter T is almost non-existent. The rim is strong, so I don't think this is normal wear and tear. Also, it doesn't look like someone did this with a tool. The damage could be from cleaning, but I'm thinking maybe there was some goo on the dye or something. Thoughts? Edited by sickpuppy78501 09/19/2023 1:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Please use a size of 800x800 or so because that tends to make a sharper image, and works with more equipment which allows more members to participate. Report this Post to the Staff
