<p>[QUOTE="ziggy9, post: 509741, member: 8360"]The picture below shows how this is a retained die break. The line shown with the red arrows is a die crack from the rim to the back of the head. The blue arrows show a crack that starts at the die crack and eventually returns to the die crack. This area has broken from the die and instead of falling out it has been forced slightly further into the die (that is, retained) causing the area within the crack to be slightly raised from the rest of the image.</p><p><br /></p><p>A retained die break does not have to go from rim to rim. In fact, that is refered to as a retained cud, not retained die break.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
