CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/26/2018 12:57 pm Die Chips are common errors, but multi Die chips on the same coin are a little less common. I can see two from the pic provided, sometimes Roosevelt has chips and/or cracks in his hair. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/26/2018 1:32 pm The usage of 'Extra Metal' tends to make us think of a piece of the die is lodged there. Why did I say that? Well when a coin is struck the planchet has only the correct metal weight. So where the coin is normal, has a mint mark, die crack, die chip, Retained Cud or Cud, the weight does not change. The weight going in and coming out, is the same. The displacement of metal does not change the weight. So when you say extra metal, unless something is added to the coin, the weight doesn't change. So the term extra metal is not needed. You coin has a die chip showing on it. No extra metal. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/26/2018 2:38 pm Excellent synopsis, Coop. Sccollector, what you're describing as extra metal on the coin, is actually less metal on the die. The die and coin designs are opposites; whatever is raised on the coin is recessed on the die and vice versa. A raised chip or crack or any design element on the coin is recessed on the die. The die that struck your coin had at least two recessed chips in it. Report this Post to the Staff
