coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/07/2022 4:45 pm Note the year. This is just die wear on the older style of dies. The Single squeeze dies will have the DDD. They have the lower profiles and affect the fields mostly on the outside edges of devices. On the Older style dies you will see more breakdown on the devices. DDD starts altering the fields, the Ridge Ring sets in. When they are polished during the Ridge Ring showing, then the devices will be polished away more often. The difference is that ways the dies are created with the high or low profiles. Both are die wear, but react different on the dies. Report this Post to the Staff
