Very cool looking! Lets see what the pros say, I'm not sure if it's a crack.

It's a "launching D!"
Is it raised? It looks like it in the pic. If raised, then die crack/gouge. . If incuse, most likely damage

This is a die crack. It is known about as quite a few years ago, it was debated as to if it was a crack or possible RPM. It is most definitely a crack.

Yes raised... after examining it more, there are two raised areas... iffy on a 3rd. The surface in between the two for sure ones, stays the same as what's on the sides of each, being the same level. Launching D, I've heard that before somewhere Originally Posted by willbrooks
