Bi-level die crack

A crack runs through some design elements of the die causing a difference in height of the reliefs involved. It manifests itself on the coin as a raised metal line that generates a step (E.C.9). Sometimes it can be connected to one or more interior die breaks whit retained fragment (E.C.10).
