Frank9184 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/28/2025 7:59 pm I'm pretty new to error identification. I have a 1982 Lincoln Cent with what looks like a chip in the L in Liberty. Can anyone help? Edited by Frank9184 09/29/2025 10:05 am Report this Post to the Staff

A die chip would raised almost to the height of the letters. Also a die chip is not an error, it is a die event. Edited by JimmyD 09/28/2025 8:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Note the heavy die flow and the mushy devices? I have one just like it, except it's more advanced. https://goccf.com/t/322204 Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
