2. Die Specific Comments:

  • Top
     In two of the three states thus far observed E8 is significantly cracked and has a massive Collapse.  The collapse is so large that much of the C in CENTS and part of the O in ONE do not strike up well (or at least wore out very quickly)  Even the Queen's bun doesn't fully strike up.  In that state E8 could not have lasted much longer.  In state 1 the only die crack so far noticed is at leaf 12, apparently the collapse started after that but before the die crack appears at leaf 14.
