<p>[QUOTE="Pete Apple, post: 4878746, member: 103982"]Conder101 makes valid points. Testing protocol, however, requires that the tests (more than one impression) not be made too close to the edge. Testing protocol states that the reading must be taken at least two indenter diameters from an edge. Perhaps that is enough so that the test indentions (there will be more than 1) would be lost to the lathe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, according to the Mint, testing was not normally (there are exceptions) done on the die face, but on the side of the die steel.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
