Yes, that is a small date. The red stuff looks like paint, nail polish, something like that.
So at 12:38 today PCGS said it could take months, 6 hours later it is slabbed and on display with no proof whatsoever, and you want no more posts....
Will be waiting for the results.
Didn't say it always means it was damaged, just that it was one clue in this case. The poster thought it was triple struck, the die can not strike...
