<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2474955, member: 15199&quot;]It appears as a deteriorated reverse die. Notices how it delineates with the curve of the wheat stalk and the other devices. Since it is in an area that was &#039;deeper&#039; into the&nbsp; metal, the die would be correspondingly high ( top part ) in that area. If it chips, breaks, or wears due to damage or internal stress, the remaining part will not push the metal so low on the strike and that area will be raised. Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
