Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 12:22 am Nice die chip: Fun to find, fairly common error for the fifties especially. I still keep them even though there is no premium. Good eye and happy hunting! Report this Post to the Staff

The_Duke Pillar of the Community United States 1745 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 11:41 am Nice, definitely a keeper. It only costs a cent to throw it in a jar. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 11:45 am Note the 8 on the date. You can see that it shows the extreme die wear on that digit. The field and the top of the device are almost the same height on the right hand side. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 4:17 pm Which is heavier? 1. A coin with a Cud on it? 2. A coins with die chips on it? 3. A coin with a mint mark? 4. A coin without a mint mark? Report this Post to the Staff
Waxemm Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 4:27 pm I would guess they all weigh the same. Is metal actually added in any of those cases? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/13/2014 4:50 pm Correct. The planchets should all weigh the same if they are pre 1981 or post 1983. The 1982 is the exception year with the copper/zincs used. Planchets can vary in weight slightly. But the striking cuds/mint marks/lack of mint marks/chips will have nothing to do with adding weight. If a piece of a die was inbedded into the coin, then it would weigh more. (I can't sneak anything by you guys. LOL) Report this Post to the Staff
