Typically Color (half and half not blended, all one color,etc) or the engraving could be messed up.

If you see an X-out that usually means it has a long Pin OR the CG is far left/right of center with the pin and Mass Bias, these are also sometimes call Pro-Pins.

Could be some tiny pin holes or a minor repair at the factory. I bought a Anaconda blem that had a tiny pencil tip size mark in it you had to look hard to find. Some have high, low top weight.
