kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 02/23/2017 08:45 am I think it's in the wrong place to be a chip. I see it as more of a small die gouge. Nice. A keeper. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/24/2017 08:39 am They used to refer to this one as the 'San Jose' mint (never existed) years ago. But it is just a die crack that spread into a chip in this die state. The over use of the dies on the 1950's wheat cents that left very poor coins. But with imagination some have raised them to a different level with name added to them. But they are in fact just die events that happen to an over used die. Report this Post to the Staff
