DebbieM New Member South Africa 27 Posts	Posted 04/22/2014 10:04 am Hi. Is this classified as an error coin? The D in DZONGA is not a clear letter. The I and m in Ningizimu have blobs in them and the 2008 has large blobs in the numbers. The other side (not posted) is perfect. Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 04/22/2014 12:55 pm nope, its not a filled die, its die chips. they are caused as the die ages, small pieces of the die chip away. a filled die would have weak and missing design elements.

Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 04/22/2014 1:05 pm That's what I was trying to say. I saw the little die chips and thought: "the letters are filled, so it must be called a filled die!" Yep, it's called a "die chip." Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not entirely sure that they aren't plating blisters, similar to the rust bubbles you've got on the coins in your other thread. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
