Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73747 Posts	Posted 12/30/2017 7:02 pm Man, that is on its way to a full Retained Die Break! This is a hard one Mark. I'd say it's a Die Crack with Die Chips surrounding it. I'm no expert, but this is the best I can think of. And the problem above the date is a minor Lamination error I think. Nice find!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/30/2017 10:30 pm Retained Die Cud. It is beyond a break at this point. Note the design is now moved? When this happens on the outside edge of the die, it is then a retained Die Cud. Edited by coop 12/30/2017 10:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
