Also since the deepest part of the coin represents the surface of the die. I would expect the size of the line would be greater near it, as cracks tend to be larger on the surface than deeper into the die. Here the line appears wider on the nose area ( a deep part of the die) rather than near the edge ( surface part of the die). That is why I said PMD. Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
