Causes of "Die Flash" on Predecimal Silver

[ausjack]

:dodgy: Our PM reminds me of the old chocolate as he likes to waffle and he's a polly, bit of luck the same will become of him that happened to the humble old polly waffle :angel:

ha ha you are funny  

we have a great assortment of engineers and chemists in this forum so I reckon the waffle is well and truly based in solid scientific knowledge

Hey, I resemble that remark (I'm ex CSIRO) and I know most boffins waffle on, I'm sure I do it way too often as well. Best sort of mind can come up with dozens of theories and then accept that most can be dismissed when tested. A hard part is giving up on pet theories and the hardest part is admitting when you have made a blunder (and I've made my share of those.

As an engineer I refuse to make theories; I just 'postulate' -but, really, it is mostly a guess based on limited information. Inspection and measurement sometimes proves me right and oftentimes....
That is a little mind game I play on the way to a site. Need to be careful though not to let any preconceived notion get in the way of the facts. What is reported as the reason for a call is often mostly vague and includes assumptions from the client or agent.

Yes auto I have seen lots of proofs with die cracks, just ask Belly. That's why he called me eagle eyes :winkextra:

Tar AJ :good: to know

Reminds me of the time I went to the doc, opened up the top of my overalls and pointing to some sort of rash, told him I had measles. Without leaving his chair he said so you have, and wrote me a certificate for two weeks off :yahoo: The thing is, I genuinely thought it was measles, but turned out to be a rash from a diesel spill earlier in the day. I think that assumption was more accurate though :biggrin:

Checking through my slabs I found an interesting variety of die flash. The flash is a perfect registration on the reverse of a Geo V sixpence of the kings head. Lips, nose etc are outlined by the die flash. PCGS number 32864169.
Explanation:huh:?
