khasil Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 04/07/2018 4:47 pm thank you, but I am not talking about WAMs and CAMs, what I am asking is about extra wide space in AM. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 04/07/2018 8:36 pm Die abrasion and or wear has been known to reduce devices a bit. Can make gaps between devices appear wider over time. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 04/07/2018 8:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/07/2018 8:43 pm The 1987 reverse devices are normally thinner on the RDV-005 dies. The RDV-006 dies devices are wider. Note the examples above. But with die polishing, the devices will be reduced in size. This leaves more space between the devices. Just a normal die polished example from that year.
