DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 05/19/2013 5:12 pm It's a die chip.A piece of the die metal broke away due to metal fatigue. Note the irregular edges,a gouge would have a more consistent shape and smother edges. Edited by DrDon 05/19/2013 5:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3334 Posts	Posted 05/19/2013 5:21 pm Thanks DrDon - seems like a large chip - but then my "chip experience" is quite limited. I think the location makes it quite interesting . I know that these kind of things bring only a very small premium to the value - probably $1 or less. Pete Report this Post to the Staff
