It's only taken 35 replies plus your original post to come up with an answer of .... well we haven't yet. Maybe that is the purpose of this exercise. To get people to rely on vocabulary rather than images?</p><p><br /></p><p>Physicsfan had a very nuanced and detailed description and I was seeing a lot of the same things. But IMHO I believe it to be a die crack based on the die state (Mid to LDS) and the irregular shape of the meandering raised line. (The light source seemed to be about K3.) I say meandering because it is very faint but looks to go up to the top of the dome and south into the letters as well. And the brighter part of the line seems to be on the right side indicating it is a raised line.</p><p><br /></p><p>Forgive me if I haven't described what I'm seeing very well.</p><p>(Are we allowed to use your image or should we use only our vocabulary to describe what we see?)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
