Jamy Pearson New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 06/14/2024 1:59 pm Is this a die break? I'm still learning but so far I've enjoyed looking for these little things. Kinda exciting. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34424 Posts	Posted 06/14/2024 2:42 pm @jamy, the corners of the Lincoln Memorial are common initiation points for die cracks, not unlike how in the picture below, there are cracks in the asphalt due to the corners being stress risers: "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
