[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 3631860, member: 77413"]Let's look closely at the shape of the numerals. [ATTACH=full]974173[/ATTACH] The green arrow points to a flattened area. You can see that the bottom edge of that area has a bit of metal pushed up, showing that this is an impact that displaced copper from the flat area towards the bottom of the 2. The green box shows that there is a similar impact that caught the 8 at the 5:00 o'clock position and caught the corner of the 2 at the same time. (Edit: the edges of the dents on the 8 and 2 are parallel, so almost certainly were caused by a single event.) The lighting also clearly shows the shape of the bottom of the 2, which actually looks really clean with sharp corners both at the bottom and top.
