You need to look at the direction of the cup on the blade.

If that ring is brite on a painted prop it's rubbing the lower unit housing. HTH

I'll post some pics of a prop side by side,

X2, also once you get a new one on try to tell if their is any vibration that was not there before. Prop Shaft is not really hard to bend when whacking something with the prop like that.
