Appearance is excellent but under close examination both have damage at the base, one with a crack to the base dome and lower wafer, the other has a faint check in the lower wafer and appears to have been rejoined at the wafer/base juncture with no apparent losses or roughness, both with an area of light scratching to font shoulder
