timras14 Valued Member United States 273 Posts	Posted 01/14/2012 11:40 pm I found this coin while searching all pennies instead of just the key dates (thanks to advice on here guys). I listed this coin on ebay, but what is the correct term for this? I know a Cud has to be around the edge of the coin, is it a die chip? Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/14/2012 11:44 pm It is a die chip. Also called a die break, just depends on personal preference in many cases. This is a rather large one, but it is in a very common place for these to happen. It has a value of $1-$5 as a conversation piece. Report this Post to the Staff

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 01/15/2012 11:46 am Describe it correctly as a large die chip, but also mention "hornet's nest", because it certainly looks like one. Report this Post to the Staff

Here's my thread with my pics and the other members pics. https://goccf.com/t/87252&SearchTerms=KisNap It'll be interesting to see what yours goes for on ebay. Report this Post to the Staff
