thanks everyone I appreciate the feedback, tough crowd here lately I was sharing a cool find and the thread quickly transformed into value (which I didn't ask about) and zinc rot (or lack thereof as pointed out by John1, who is correct stains and exposed zinc but no rot) thanks for bringing positivity and a clear opinion to the thread John1

Nice find. That's a fairly large chip! I wonder if the die chip is large enough to qualify as an Interior Die Break? Interestingly, cuds-on-coins lists IDBs for Wheat, Memorial, and Shield cents, but not for the 2009 circulating commems. It might be worth submitting these photos to see if it could be listed. |

Hey fortcollins you make an excellent point, I'll give it a go and see what he says thanks!
He defines it as:
"Interior Die Break Definition: (IDB) When a thick flake spalls off the interior of the die face it leaves a void we call an interior die break."

They really had a problem with the Formative year coins. I have quite a few with different sized chips n cracks at the end of the log. Some with multiple cracks.

I agree, I feel like the design was too integrate maybe to many weak spots on the die?  either way gives us more to find lol |

Nice size die chip and the location is "camouflaged" pretty well. BTW- For size reference, each column on a Memorial cent is about 1mm. So to qualify as an interior die break it would need to be equal to 4 columns on a Memorial cent. As neat as this one is, I think it is coming up small. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

I think it would be helpful if cuds-on-coins posted a chart, with photos of the different chip sizes eg 1mm 2mm 3mm 4mm etc. John1 |

If you measure the whole end of the log top to bottom. It's around 4mm.

Hi all thanks again for the feedback, haven't been able to measure but remember this is 4 square mm, so 2x2 mm equals 4mm squared
