> The number stamping process does change the metal’s underlying metallurgy throughout the the metal where it was stamped. So unless you drill out the number through the entire metal (which is viable if you’re going to extract the minerals), there’s a possibility of reconstructing the serial number with some level of probability.
Do you happen to have more information on that?

Other info is a google away, just search for reconstructed serial numbers or similar queries. It’s not exactly a secret, but how successful it can be is.
