Looks like misaligned dies to me - it's pretty minor though.

Good call! 👍

It is minor, but looks to be a M.A.D.

Someone may need to correct me but I think the amount of misalignment needs to be 15% before people will pay a premium.

Sorry, I was in a hurry and forgot to spell it out!

As Paul has said, a M.A.D. is short for Misaligned Die or M.A.D.
