Unfortunately, the visual appearance is not a good indicator if the copper washer will re-seal - particularly in high-pressure applications. If there is a slight uneveness to either surface/side, and if the fastener is not in exactly the same spot on the washer, it could leak...especially if the fastener is cross-threaded or bent.
