In the Netherlands a 'die chip' is not considered as an variety, but the website coinsandcanada mentioned it under "More errors and varieties" as #1415...

Now I wonder is this a collectible 'die chip' or.... ?

The question as to whether a die chip is collectible or not is totally up the individual collector. A die chip is strictly speaking an error, not a strike variety, and many collectors don't see a need for them. Others, like myself, love a good chip and will pick them up when they can. They're not rare, and are quite often very inexpensive or even found in roll-hunting or pocket change (at least on pennies, back when they were in circulation). Zoell, in his books, pictures quite a number of die chips, and these are often collected because they are "known" chips, however there have been many hundreds if not thousands of different chips discovered since then, and I myself consider these to be as equally collectable as the Zoell "varieties". I agree with mcshilling that it's a keeper; keep your eyes open and you'll find many more of these little gems!

With the angular shape, it almost looks like some die blunder--ie a tool or object struck the die, leaving that mark.
Whatever the cause, I like it!
