coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 08/13/2009 11:47 pm That's NOT a die crack! It's gas under the copper plating. Yup, gas bubbles. The difference is VERY easy to spot. A die crack will be very crisp and jagged like a crack in the sidewalk and will always follow weak points in the design. Gas bubbles are softer, they don't have crisp jagged edges, and don't run along weak points in the design. In fact, they don't necessarily follow the design at all. Report this Post to the Staff
