I bought this off of ebay for 16.95 and 0.78 for shipping. It was a bit pricey, but I wanted it for my collection, so it was worth it to me. The massive Die Chip is located under her neck. I'll include a picture of one without a Die Chip for comparison. https://www.ebay.com/itm/128034814784   Errers and Varietys.

Thank you, jbuck. The ebay seller ended up selling all 68 of them, including me buying one. He made a fortune selling all of them. Errers and Varietys.

Quite a sizable die chip! As discussed on the prior thread, it might even be large enough to be considered an interior dime break, although dimes are pretty small. Still a neat buy, congrats. =)

Thank you both, MNP, and Brandmeister! You're right, Brandmeister. It could be large enough to be considered an Interior Die Break. Errers and Varietys.

I picked up a few of these as well. There was some discussion ( https://goccf.com/t/491391&whichpage=1 ) about the design causing the chips. I have only seen this massive chip on the Philadelphia dimes, but my view is limited to what is on ebay and the two rolls I purchased. This begs the question as to if it was only one die that degraded and didn't get caught. I do have a few Denver dimes with the bulge but haven't seen the massive one like what is on the Philadelphia ones. I'm labelling mine "Decapitated Liberty" - fits better on the 2x2 Edited by PlumCrazy814

Thank you both, nickelsearcher, and PlumCrazy814! Great link, thank you. It makes me wonder if there's more than one die pair out there with this massive Die Chip. Errers and Varietys.
