<p>[QUOTE=&quot;longnine009, post: 511506, member: 1886&quot;]If a die break was pushed into the die there would be a void behind it that would have the same effect as a piece out of the die. Since it would have to displace metal to be&nbsp; pushed into the die, the void it caused&nbsp; would be a piece out the die error with the addition of a retained die break in front of it and some remarkable classification possibilities. </p><p><br /></p><p>But I don&#039;t believe a die break can be pushed into several inches of die steel that&#039;s equally strong if not stronger than the die break. Certainly more sturdy than a piece that broke from it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps if some of the metal on the bottom of the die break flaked off it could sit lower,&nbsp; but what force caused it to flake and&nbsp; what would be&nbsp; keeping it in place? </p><p><br /></p><p>Lincoln cents from the 50&#039;s are notorious for have mulitple die cracks (cracked skulls). I have one where die cracks form the letter &quot;B.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
