Although the photo scan shows a dark shadow along the bottom edge, that is just a shadow caused by light getting in from the scanner, due to the thickness of the protective plastic cover of the gold stamp. Also, we did not notice until we were done scanning all of them, but there is a small black mark along the upper edge, which originated from our scanner glass, and is not on the item.
