MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 01/19/2010 2:24 pm Charles, this is one of those pictures that if you look at it long enough, it changes. When I first look at it, there appears to be an incuse gash above the area being dicussed. And a raised area below at the back of the head. After stareing at it a while, the gash appears to be raised while the area below seems to be sunken. Why would this be considered a die crack instead of a retained die break or a rather large die chip? Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/19/2010 8:07 pm Primarily because I know this effect and have seen it hundreds of times. But to try answering with something that resembles an answer...if you crack something in two places, those cracks can tend to meet and a piece starts to sink. So a die break might be the answer if the piece fell out...but until then, it's cracks. Kinda like a Retained Cud versus a Cud. It's broken, but the piece isn't missing. Report this Post to the Staff
