John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 05:01 am By the D is a die crack. If the line on the back of head is raised, it also is a die crack and might be part of the crack on the D. What is that right of the E in WE? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 07:07 am I agree that this is a die crack. In this location, we sometimes call this a "spikehead". If you use the search box in the upper lefthand corner of your screen with that keyword, you will find many other examples.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 07:34 am I think it is only considered a spike head when, the die crack runs onto the head from the rim. I am not sure if that crack runs continuous from the rim onto the head. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
