RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 04/15/2020 6:56 pm I've been wondering. Would this be considered a Die Crack? I have five others but 1972. Report this Post to the Staff

RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 04/15/2020 9:16 pm Thank you John1. So how does a gouge happen? And those 1972 I have are similar not as large but in the same spot. Report this Post to the Staff

RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 04/16/2020 08:25 am Thanks again John1. Thank you for info about gouges I was wondering for awhile and thought something like that created them. But I was sorta thinking that if it happened on a 70 and 72 (maybe) a flaw in the Die. I'm going to re-post this with with the 72 (s) to compare. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/16/2020 12:29 pm Looks like a deep die scratch on the second one. Neither die die cracks. Just die events that altered the fields. They are too straight to be a die crack. They are irregular and go in any direction at will. "Rim to rim" Report this Post to the Staff
RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 04/16/2020 2:58 pm Thank you coop for info. Yes the 2nd and 5th 1972 has a scratch. But all 5-72 has the raised roof as the 1970. The 72 (s)looks to get larger as you go down the list. The 70 is the largest. Report this Post to the Staff
