[QUOTE="kanga, post: 6257934, member: 9270"]Thanks. It took me a while to find it in a good grade on a good planchet. If I recall correctly the planchets came from England and tended to be porous. There are a number of Die States all centering around a progressive die crack and cud involving Stars 1-4. -- Die State 1.0 - the perfect die -- Die State 2.0 - die crack from rim through stars 1-4 and back to rim (extremely rare) -- Die State 3.0 - branch die crack from 2nd star to rim with a cud forming below the first star (possibly unique). -- Die State 4.0 - a cud forms through the first 2 stars (extremely rare) -- Die State 5.0 - the cud extends through stars 1-4 (rare) [my coin] Based on the rarity of Die States 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0, it looks like once the die crack started the progression to a 4-star cud went quickly. That's why Die State 5.0 is not as rare as the others.[/QUOTE]
