Don't know what to think on this one you guys (and Gals). PSD mabe? Doesn't seem like it. Grease ? Mabe ya'll have a good idea, I don't seem to.Thanks Tom

I don't know what to make of it Tom. Greasy wavy steps??? Cool looking though. A keeper in my book.

I am thinking the only thing it can be is some sort of PSD. If it were grease, it wouldn't alter the steps at all, merely cover them. It is interesting, but I can't see anything in the hubbing/striking process that would cause this.

Hey Bob, silly question but, Wouldn't there be more damage to the plating if it was PSD? Just askin! Tom

Good question Tom.

Is the other side of the coin weak in that area??? Would it be possible to get a closer pic of the anomally??? I am leaning toward some sort of strike thru but not to sure at this point!!!

Jim, I cant see anything on the OBV that shows evidence. Another close up would be hard due to the bright tone and my equip. I'll see what i can do. Tom

With nothing on the obv I am leaning even more toward a strike thru... Just have to think of what was struck thru tho... Not grease for sure... If you can't get a closer pic that's ok!!!

The first thought that crossed my mind is why is there no extended damage in the adjacent area. We would need added pics of the total area and also the obverse. The anomaly on the reverse steps at 9.00 clock looks too uniform to be PSD in my opinion. I will hold my final thought until I see more.

Ok Lucien, will do. Just need to finish my beer and put the chicken on the Traeger and I'll be good! Tom

Lucien, Right now this is about as good as it gets. Hope these help out' Tom

I agree with Bob, it looks like PSD. The obverse does not necessarily have to be damaged in this case for the area on the reverse is small that has the damage to it. As for the stylobate being pushed upwards, that can be caused by displaced metal.

I'm also with the PSD crowd, and it would not necessarily have to damage the plating. I've seen much worse PSD that didn't affect the plating...I know it goes against logic, but it can happen.
