Here, maybe this will look like it, But it's just a die chip, like we have all stated.

Hey, if that guy will buy it for that, then take it, but it's worthless in my eyes, except for the fact that it's a 1923. But I would suggest getting a new "coin guy" because he is most certainly not an expert.

Third image down on this thread:

It shows a die dot.

Second image on this thread:

Die dot

die dot

These do not add value to a coin. They are like fingerprints that help identify the die that created that coin. Along with die dots, die cracks, chips, breaks, gouges, die scratches are all helpful to ID a die. With out the markers are not a bad thing. It often denotes that the die was younger when that coin was struck or a die scratch has flattened or new ones added over older ones. So they are more used for ID purposes rather than add value to a coin.

I'm with John1, I can't tell much from the picture. Any chance for a better picture?

Here is what strikes me funny about this post is, I never once asked is this a valuable coin. I am interested in error coins and the value isn't the main point too me. I am quite aware a die error coin such as this has no value execept to someone like myself who likes error coins. 100.00 for this coin? get real. Some people are so driven on the value and not the uniqueness.

Well if the value isn't a main point to you, why didnt you trust us in the first place? That cent does have an interesting, albeit common, error, theres no reason to want to take it any farther than that.

Also by the way, but rust pit, the poster mentioning that meant some rust formed on the die, which would leave a raised impression on your coin, which is another possible explanation.

IMHO,I think what's being said is the type of error itself is common. Even if it happens only once it is still a common error and of little value. So if it is die wear, it is a common error that can make for a unique coin. Doesn't make it desirable.
Example.. My penny with a line through the word cents turned out to be a gas bubble. Probably the only one like it but still not worth squat. If ya come for the experts advice it may be good to take it.

And you've created two separate accounts? I'm sorry, but that's kind of a large-scale no-no. Email admin@coincommunity.com to discuss having one account or the other unlocked.

And well, money is not a main point for me. It's just the way you were talking it seemed like it was to you, so I was just suggesting. But why make a separate account? That's pretty strange.

Drake, take a look in the Canadian error section. There are often coins there with extra dots. Canadian collectors seem to place a premium on them. I once showed a quarter with a stray dot on it to an error dealer at a large show. He said it was interesting but of no extra value. Much like small die brakes, interesting and cool but no value. It is the way of the world only if people decide it is desireable is it valuable. If you like it, keep it.
