    Hey guys, check out the igwt on this 66 sms washington. Especially on the E of we. Doesn't quite scream dd but there are clearly visible linear posts coming out of each of the 3 crossbars.

    Too blurry for my poor eyes.

    Naw, just looks like a little jump in the strike. The pictures are good enough to tell. I'll just focus you on one letter, the second T in TRUST. Do you see how it's doubled both to the left and the right along the vertical stem? That's a cinch for a bad hop in the strike.

    It's just machine doubling.

    Hmm I wasn't thinking md as this isn't usual looking md but I would say it's more plausible than a dd now that I look at it in that light. Thanks

    What do you call something that's flat and shelf-like?

    Looks like MD as I think there is also some along the neck.

    But it's not shelf like. It's like three symmetrical die chip looking protrusions protruding out from each of the 3 crossbars. Ejection doubling or localized md could be a cause I guess but it's not your typical selflike apperance. The pics dont pick it up that well now that I'm taking a second look at them. The last T in trust under the E shows the same thing but the rest of igwt looks fine. I have a tough time macro photographing the detail of devices on highly reflective fields.

    Agreed, too blurry. Back the camera off just a little bit so it can focus better. Also, can you take one from the 9 o'clock direction and see how it looks?
