I think you missed the part where the bottoms of RI are in the denticles. Red lines below are pointing to features that are identical in both sets...
The RI in the rim has identical hits and lighting as the original RI, which is pretty much impossible. Has to be photo manipulation. Is it being...
Could be anything, for example a kid rubbing it against a concrete step, like I just did to this one. Yes, I'm really bored. [ATTACH]
I think many of us can appreciate your enthusiasm but you've been posting here long enough to get some tough love. They minted 746,130,000 of...
