Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 11/29/2024 01:35 am The die crack is hidden in some Die Deterioration. I think the reverse die was nearing catastrophic failure. Above the memorial, the flow lines aren't radial and chips and depressions were forming. Report this Post to the Staff
