Message:: [QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 8483761, member: 77814"][USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER] die crack maybe.  IF you notice it goes through the lettering without affecting the lettering, and if it's raised on the surface then the metal has to "fill" something, such as a die crack. That is .. I *assume* you meant through the "ST" in States as you actually aren't specific about what you are asking about.  I first was thinking the earlobe .... so ... leaves us guessing unless you are specific about your question. edit: you might be asking about your last picture too. (i'm jus guessing as you aren't asking about it but I assume since you posted that area you must be wondering about something).Die Erosion Striations ... you'll see the metal acting like a river .. and thus you'll see the die deterioration and the visual shifting of the letters from a weak strike.[/QUOTE]
