A &quot;dropped element&quot; occurs when the grease and debris have compacted in a die from continued strikes and is almost as hard as steel. When it falls onto the surface of an incoming planchet, it can be embedded as a strikethrough. Sometimes it can be retained and sometimes it can fall away.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
