Spence Moderator United States 34464 Posts	Posted 04/28/2022 09:58 am I agree these two areas are the results of this coin being struck by a damaged die. I'd probably call them die chips rather than die cracks though.

CopperHound Valued Member United States 63 Posts	Posted 04/28/2022 10:09 am I have a question, if I may, it's off topic, but what is it called when you flip a penny to the reverse and you can see the outline of Lincoln on the coin? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/28/2022 11:33 am Die chips are common to find. They can happen on a normal coin, or a variety coin. On normal coins they are just die events. On a variety they are markers for those dies. But either way they are just an ID for a certain die. (Not a premium for these, but die events. It is the variety coins that they mean something to identify the the die state. It is the variety that is the premium. Report this Post to the Staff
