mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 05/31/2026 12:18 pm It's not a die chip. It's a form of Die Deterioration. It might be a "bleb" (die erosion pit) or represent the beginnings of a "design berm". In any case, it's not a form of brittle failure. Here's a much more advanced case.

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 05/31/2026 2:53 pm The 1985-P dime shows a design berm. So, I suspect the lead-off dime is an incipient design berm. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
