coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/04/2020 1:44 pm More like a RIDB. (Retained-Interior-Die-Break) That area of the die now has a slight incuse area on that area. Thus the void on the coins make it rise above the normal design. If it were a lamination, then it would be a peeled incuse area, or loose ready to fall off. This area will not fall off the coin. It a RIDB. When the area is enclosed with a die crack and has more of the die breaking away, it is called a die break. Slight die loss is called a chip. This is a die break (label incorrect), but note no die crack outline around it. Edited by coop 11/04/2020 1:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 11/07/2020 10:15 am Yes that is what is called a rotated reverse. Yours is very noticable. Does not make it worth more and many collectors will not buy a coin with that problem. Report this Post to the Staff
