joshkellogg Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 10/28/2011 12:04 am I think it's a cool find. Though it may not be worth anything to some, it creates a halo effect... like you see in old portraits of saints, etc. I'd hold on to it. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/27/2021 6:46 pm I agree with Mike. Die Deterioration. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 07/28/2021 05:08 am I have no difficulty with this feature being Die Deterioration. I am simply interested in focusing on the TYPE of Die Deterioration. It seems to me that minor die subsidence is descriptive of what I see happening. If it is a different type of Die Deterioration than that, I would like to know which type. I have made a list of Die Deterioration Types Doubling Promoted by Trails Parallel Flow Lines Incuse Die Deterioration Design-Devouring Die Wear Design Berms Orange Peel Texture "Starburst" Streaks Detail-Erasing Die Wear Die Subsidence Errors If this is not a Die Subsidence, then which is it?
