<p>[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 15144179, member: 105571"]"Crumbling" mostly happens at the rim and dentils but there are exceptions. With crumbling rims what you're looking for is evidence that the dentils and possibly to some extent the obverse rim of the edge, on the die are failing or have failed. This shows up as not just weak dentils but also the dentils look like they are falling apart. Think of the look of concrete that is spalling and breaking down. The severity can range from mild to extreme. Note that you can have weak dentils but not crumbling rims.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
