We were wondering what type of error this is and the proper name/description for it. There is a crack that runs beneath the "C" on the reverse as well (may be harder to see in the pic). Thank you in advance for your help. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

This may be a stress crack as well, but they do appear along laminations. I'm not sure by the small pix if this yellow is a Lam or not, looks like it tho, but need a much clearer, close-up.
