Might be a little hard to see in this photo (which is why I was fine with buying them at $19 and so small no one would see it). It definitely looks like what silver does when it scratches surfaces. It's not removed by just soap and water. Might take an eraser or other very fine abrasive...which isn't great.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]467398[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>That cameo also just has grime still encrusted.
