crab eater Pillar of the Community Australia 625 Posts	Posted 08/27/2022 10:44 pm This error comes in varying degrees of the length of the line involved. I guess it is not a 'die crack' as the rim of the coin is not involved? It does not look like a ' Cud' or 'die chip' as it is a thin straight line. The line is raised not indented. What has caused this error? Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: This error comes in varying degrees of the length of the line involved. As is fairly evident, I'm no expert, but IMO if the line is always in the same location, but can be of different lengths, then that would indicate a gradual deterioration of the die, a die crack, but weirdly in a straight line. Normally a progressive die crack would worm around a bit as it followed the weak spots and stress raisers in the die. Anyone else with experience want to chime in on this one? Regardless, certainly interesting, and a nice find. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Edited by ttkoo 08/28/2022 04:18 am Report this Post to the Staff

gnome Valued Member Australia 372 Posts	Posted 08/28/2022 7:36 pm The red lines are the original die gouge, from memory. The green lines are diecracks that happened afterwards. Report this Post to the Staff
