Congratulations! You have discovered an opposite for "Eye Appeal."

Now I want to go gouge out my eyes with toothpicks.

Got a weight on that thing? My first instinct is that it was treated with mercury but I'm curious to hear if it is at all underweight.

It looks like someone tried to silverplate it?

mercury crossed my mind as well.......would a mercury dip have compromised the planchet from 1:00 to 7:00 like that??


also, i think the diamonds have been re-engraved (they look "off")
