<p>[QUOTE=&quot;old49er, post: 2473620, member: 78229&quot;]Great stuff to know, for sure. Thanks, very helpful for a greenhorn like me! I would also like to add... look for casting specks too. Tiny raised dots, left from casting(grains of sand), or other raised areas,where it should be smooth from the pressure of the hammer. such as above or below the portrait. Just my observations. I,m surprised this is not mentioned versus pits?...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
