There is a dip in the surface and it's going to take some lapping to get it flat, but there will still be plenty of coticule thickness left.
The way I see it is that the "crack" runs through coti and BBW all the way through, meaning, broken and glued. Might be wrong, if I'm not, hope its decently glued!
