MSI2 Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 06/07/2017 09:43 am Hi John1-I may be confusing my definitions. So a die scratch will only be seen in the fields and not in the devices similar to a die gouge. The only difference between gouge and scratch is the size (width) of the defect? Thank you as always for the education Report this Post to the Staff

That's pretty much true,also the shape makes a difference I think. Coop can confirm. John1 Edited by John1 06/07/2017 5:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/16/2017 6:56 pm The light shows it as a die scratch. Light from SE, light reflection on SE side of area in question. If it were coin damage, it would be wider and show on the NW side of the area in question. The EPU on these are incuse, so a die scratch can happen on the fields and also disappear behind devices.
