<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2509298, member: 1892"]Judging from the ones I saw at Heritage - this is kind of a guess - the crack at 1:00 appeared fairly soon, but it was deteriorating quickly by the time the crack on the bottom started developing. Yours has the major break in the hair, just not the cud, and no die is going to last long with that large a hole in it. "Middle" by definition, but I doubt as many as, say, 100 were struck after yours. That die was <b>trashed</b>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
