If the die came down and hit something in the 7:00 area, that conceivably could have caused these tiny chips, as well as the die crack that runs horizontally through the ribbon at the right of the photo.</p><p><br /></p><p>It’s fun to speculate on what might have happened.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1378622[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Extended the photo to show the entire die crack.
