stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 06/27/2019 10:34 am Not sure about the question of extra metal. It was not extra metal on the planchet at the time of strike as that would have been forced to conform to the shape of the die. Is there extra metal outside the realm of the original design? Yes , because the surface of the die chipped/broke at that spot and allowed coin metal to fill a space that was not part of the original design. Very nice hornet nest ! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/27/2019 3:00 pm Die chip. There is not such thing as extra metal unless something struck onto the coin. The same amount of metal is determined by the planchet. The strike only move the metal around that is on the plachet. Report this Post to the Staff

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 06/27/2019 5:25 pm Dave , a BIE is a die chip, or if large enough, it can be called a die break. The same can be said for this anomaly. They just have different names because of location. Report this Post to the Staff
