coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/15/2019 11:44 pm Die chips don't leave extra metal. The weight is the same before and after the strike. The metal is just distributed differently. The only time there would be extra metal is if the die broke and the fragment was retained on the coin. This would make it magnetic: Report this Post to the Staff

I checked a few with the magnet no hits yet. Cool concept with the die breakage turning coins magnetic. Funny how some damage like a Cud is good and other damage like Mechanical Doubling is bad.
