Cujohn, How can that be? If a portion of the die on the edge broke away, there would be nothing to help form the opposite (unbroken die) side - the rim (or lack of one seems logical as it needs the pressure to push the metal up into the trough that would form the rim. This is something I'm going to have to looks up and study now.
