harrison2 Pillar of the Community Mexico 1304 Posts	Posted 02/22/2010 9:31 pm Look at the flow lines..there is obviously pressure on the die toward the rim. This is an worn die...the crack along the neck is because there is so much pressure from the metal to "flow" over the crease that is the base of the neck and then the center of the "p" being knocked out deep enough that it took part of the base of the die with it which is why the center is higher than the rest of the "P".
