Wild Bill Pillar of the Community United States 744 Posts	Posted 03/20/2011 04:40 am Would this be a die chip on the top of the "2" ? The normal image is on the left and the chip is on the right. And there is a "DOT" NE of the "2". Report this Post to the Staff

Colhand1 Pillar of the Community United States 629 Posts	Posted 03/28/2011 3:30 pm Is another explanation that the die has deteriorated? Take for instance the Steel nickels 1944 & 1945. I have seen excess metal surrounding the numbers. On this coin, I see that there is extra metal on the 2. Another example is the 1962 nickel. Could this be an explanation rather than a die chip?

ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 03/28/2011 3:44 pm Everything in a die is the reverse on what's on a coin. The extra metal that you see is the result of "chipping" around the perimeter of the device. That portion of the die has broken away leaving a void which gets filled when the coin is struck appearing as extra metal. Report this Post to the Staff
