I "think" it's because it was created by two separate stressing events..? The chips & breaks formed from eventually falling out are created by an individual crack that splinters then comes back together, leaving an RIDB or RIDC that's already under direct pressure / incident within a singular event.. The one pictured has no such central pressure allowing for job completion.. Swamp Report this Post to the Staff
southsav Pillar of the Community 2224 Posts	Posted 06/30/2018 1:14 pm Ok, I'm going to take a stab at Coop's question but only after reading up on the subject: If this occurs in the process of striking blank planchets, at high speed, and a flake or die piece breaks off from the surface of the die, depending on where the broke piece comes from and comes to a rest, with the motion of the minting press, it is captured within or near the cavity that was created and subsequent strikes press it back into to die steel.
