Welcome to CT Gdub76. An old friend of mine has those initials.
So, that one was struck on a screw press right?
Looks like you found the sweet spot of that detector. Happy finds for 2023! I wish you and your family a marvelous year ahead. Hey, as to your...
I wish some TPG's would grade them as they are, I would say this one is clearly AU.
Happy New Year Luke, we joined at nearly the same time. Cheers to working on 8 years. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Thats die deterioration.
Here is a 50D that I bought a few years ago. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
