    I haven't seen any like this, I'm curious about what could have caused it. The E in CENT seems to be broken. IMG_2614.jpg IMG_2618.jpg IMG_2622.jpg

    Years in beach sand can cause that effect on its surface. Almost like it being sandblasted.

    That's kind of what I was thinking as well. I just wasn't sure. I thought it kind of looked like oxidation in the crevices. It does look like sand textured it.
