(transferred to MCI for analysis July 2009)
Note: Condition Review
Coated with clear coating. There is a crack at the outer edge of the cast frogs that appears to have been consolidated.
Note: Follow-up Notes
It would be good to analyze different locations on the ring to determine if there is a difference in composition (added parts or segregation from casting)
