A Proposed Addition To The Glossary: Die Chip

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Die Chip"

Small indentation in the die that results in extra metal on the coin itself. One or more die chips may have been present on a die and one or more areas on the coin may show
extra metal.

The above link will provide an example. Click on the fourth photo [reverse close up] for a larger view.

There are three "chips" shown:

the right hand side of the ear [the kernels] of corn [subject to filling?], the area [filled!] between the two shucks of the ear of corn [which usually forms a clear ‘V' pattern], and on the oak leaf directly below the left shuck of the ear of corn. The latter is a three dimensional "blob" which looks like a left-handed boxing glove.
