Sap Moderator Australia 16287 Posts	Posted 12/25/2022 5:46 pm There's an extreme example of it recently posted right here in the world errors subforum: https://goccf.com/t/437209 If I had to guess at an explanation, I'd assume heat stress. Perhaps somebody placed the coin on a block of dry ice? I'm assuming the cause was a cold solid rather than a cold liquid (like liquid nitrogen), since its only affecting your coin's high points - as if the portrait alone were touching something that made it crack. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
