Yeah that's the one,it had quite a bit of a crap buildup over the 5 but soaking it in acetone overnight loosened it up so it's not too bad although its a pity its been chopped up

For $15 you cant go wrong

Yes it's unfortunate thats it's had a hard time at some stage,but it's possible they happened when mint workers were removing it from the machinery.

Are these raised like die cracks Stevo ? or are they scratches ?

I'll have a better look when I get home later today (and post a few more photos) as I didnt scrutinise it too much when it arrived because I was more interested in getting rid of the green baked on muck that was covering the 5
