coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 03/07/2011 1:24 pm I neglected to mention that a die break would have a very sharp edge - which is why there's no way this is a die break. I cannot say what it IS...but what it IS NOT - die break, die clash. Report this Post to the Staff
Cud Wild Valued Member United States 302 Posts	Posted 03/07/2011 4:00 pm I knew it wasnt a die clash also but the only thing that made sense to me was a die break. I dont know what type of error this is then. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 03/07/2011 10:14 pm John - You can get die clashes that look something like that, but they would be in a slightly different place and wouldn't be that deep. Essentially a die clash is damage caused by the other die. Well, this is die damage, just not a clash. Report this Post to the Staff
