If you do not mind some advice, small little die chips are really worthless some dealers would have a book of these minor varietys that you can buy for 10 bucks a page. Major stuff like off planchets, wrong planchets major offset, brockerages 180 degree rotations that is where the money is at. The RCM mandate is to create a circulating coin that serves the purpose like a MS 63 and as the dies wear you will all these minor die chips, the RCM is not trying to produce a MS 69 or 70 coin, it is crank them out at a resonable quality to do the job
Could the stamping pressure have been lessened/reduced, so the stamped planchet couldn't reach the collar as it expanded? Or maybe a larger diam planchet? I think that it's DD as well, but thought that there might be other possibilities
