Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 10/11/2016 11:15 am I think this might be called an Interior Die Break? The area seems to be just under 4 square mm. Over 4 square mm is clearly classed as an Interior Die Break. According to error-ref, the size between 1 and 4 square mm is a grey area. Quote: Since voids left in the die face by natural fractures span an unbroken size continuum, there is no clear boundary between a "die chip" and an "interior die break". Any void encompassing an area of 4 square millimeters or more qualifies as an interior die break. Any void that covers less than 1 square millimeter is a die chip. In between is a gray area.http://www.error-ref.com/?s=interna...e+break Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 10/12/2016 11:34 am Pete, I see the outline ridge of something mainly in two directions to the North and East. Then tapers off to nothing down to the South and back to the West. I'm also seeing how flat the subject area is. The ear also looks flattened so makes me wonder if the cheek area may have been flattened or pushed creating this appearance during circulation? On the same note an IDB could show similar flattening from circulation as well. Maybe full obverse and reverse images may help see something more. Thanks, Doug.
