Yeah they are not chips I'm assured of that. I was blown away when I saw my first one. I kept them aside from others to keep comparisons. It's definitely an error on these coins I only have a few it's not like I have many I have approximately 4 roughly and the one is amazing.
Cointree has it - it's formal name is an "interpunct". But since most people have never heard the word "interpunct" before, actually using it will likely just cause confusion, and/or make you sound verbose.
In English, you could call it a "space dot", which is kind of a translation of "interpunct". But "space dot" sounds like something you'd find in astrophotography, not numismatics. Hyphenizing it to "space-dot" doesn't really help.
So maybe it's better after all if we just keep calling it "the dot".
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
In the.discussions about the 1909 S-VDB master die varieties, they just call it a period. I'm sure everyone will know what you mean unless your someone like a Mike Diamond that needs to know the proper terminology or trying to teach someone a proper term to use like in an error coin. The different position of the period between the "D" and the "B". On one of them the period is noticeably closer to the D, while on the other it is centered between the D and the B.
I'm still learning about interjections, they didnt teach about interpunct usage
I think I'm going to call it a bullet. After reading and hat Cointree said it came to me of something I forgot said to me in younger years and it was said to me to call it a bullet. Who knows I'll probably call it a dot too lolo I'm blonde #128518;
I imagine there were two Romans making their first coin die and one said to the other "Hey, there's too much space between these words, what do we do now?" And the other one looked up at the night sky and saw a bunch of dots, so he said , "Just put a dot in between them. We'll call it a Space Dot if anyone asks."
