fireandice556 Valued Member Philippines 72 Posts	Posted 09/12/2024 10:45 am I've been trying to become a novice student (kindergarten level) of 8 Pillars. I found this on my FB groups newsfeed being offered for sale. I edited out extraneous background. I found some problems just by examining the photo. Not sure if I'm correct. On the reverse, the 1/3 of lower right shows some pitting - are the signs of previous corrosion? Can you share your observations? Report this Post to the Staff

mrwiskers Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 09/16/2024 09:31 am I agree with collector.detector ... seems like a casting condition, as the small "?bubbling?" of the surface is raised, rather than being pitted from corrosive deterioration ... BTW, fireandice556, I have a small collection of counterfeits also, mostly contemporary, with a few modern as well ... gonna post one here in a few minutes ...
