Great to have an answer to this one. Thanks for the link, ATB, and the article, Mike.

For this being a die issue, the most interesting thing to me is the smooth surfaces of the design elements.

I wonder how many more of these we will pop up.....?

Yes, the smooth, glossy texture of the raised design elements is an unfamiliar aspect of this form of die deterioration/deformation. I would be most interested in seeing earlier stages, provided they even exist. As I mention in my article, this deformation may have developed quickly and then stabilized.

I found one a few months ago. Adding it for comparison. I apologize for the poor camera quality. There appear to be scratches in the pic, but there are none.

Not sure what that is Gdcole, but it maybe a Struck Through Grease issue, or a struck through a capped die? But looks nasty. I'd save it for now. You might start another thread to figure this out. (Best not to add to another's thread)

Just noticed that I hadn't seen Mike Diamond's comment.
