I found this today and I'm not exactly sure what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Murphy.   |

(Cute cat By the way)
"Growth" on Ike's neck is raised as much as the rest of his head is on the coin I presume...You may have something here, but I don't know what it is.

Thanks. My cat helps me sort coins. I stack them up and he knocks them off the desk. The raised area is about as high as Ike's neck. Not as high as his head. Is this a Cud? |

I'll let experts weigh in to confirm, but it might be something along that line.

It's a die chip not a Cud. Cuds always include the rim. John1  |

Just curious. Does anything similar line up
with it's position on the reverse ?
As in a clash. A strong one if so.
Noticed the lines etc. also just to the below
and right of the chip (if so)

 with John1 It's a real nice die chip and I believe they are not that common on Ike's as they are on cents etc. Nice find!  |

Thanks for the clarification John1. Indian1, I don't have the coin with me today. I'll check the reverse when I get off work. Goiter?  That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw it. |

Reminds me of a Buddy Hackett story about skiing that I can't post here..."There's a lump in my throat..."

too bad that's not an unc. I know people who'd buy it.

Thanks for the photo illustration Indian1. That really helps. I guess it's just a chip after all. I'll put it in a 2x2 and tuck it away until I can figure out what to do with it.
Thanks to everyone for the help.

It looks like a die crack in the area, I think it's a chip.
