    That is curious and better than seeing Mary on a piece of toasted bread. The toast sold on ebay (I think) for a tidy sum. Take a shot. LOL

      I see that this die had been heavily abraded. I'll say the "vertical" anomaly is either an especially heavy abrasion mark or a precarious gouge. The "cross member" is likely part of the clash remnant that was not removed during the abrading.

        Probably die scratches from the die worker polishing off the clash.

        A: Because when you fold it, you double it, and when you unfold it, it in creases.

        It's a bird! It's a plane! Aw nuts... It's merely two die scratches!

            First, you have to make a big noise about it to the media...

            Then, sell it on ebaby.

            Good luck.

              Here, you might as well include this one as a set...

              In bay 2, isn't that the Madonna?
