CoinChat89 Valued Member United States 86 Posts	Posted 11/10/2024 07:45 am Good Morning! Today I am sharing this 1983-P Lincoln Penny I found with a cute die chip. The placement of the die chip on this one kind of makes it look like part of his bowtie is floating. I found it interesting so I'm sharing.

In that case, you might be able to dent it by depressing it with the end of a wooden toothpick. If it is trapped zinc dust or whatever debris then it won't depress. I agree most likely not a die chip though as it is just floating out there in the middle of the field.
