<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RBBDoughty, post: 2199184, member: 73447&quot;]Yeah, the dies can break from the inside out, if that makes sense. The <a href="http://indianvarieties.com/?s=goatee&amp;post_type=product" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://indianvarieties.com/?s=goatee&amp;post_type=product" rel="nofollow">1903 and 1907</a> Goatee varieties are examples of a die failure near center, without involvement of the rim. Die chips on the 8th feather tip are also very common, especially in 1899.
