What has me concerned is the lettered edge, so I’m submitting a picture of the edge lettering for your scrutiny. You’ll see the squished metal on the edge and that’s what I’m not sure about, since I can’t find a single picture online showing the edge lettering and whether or not the metal can be squished on the edge. All they do is describe the lettering and what it says. Tell me what you think? Ribbit, Toad Ps: It weighs 27.3 grams and is not a “cast” copy (smooth surface not pitted).
