coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/08/2014 10:56 pm I would call that a die dent. Looks like the die came into contact with another die while handing and received a dent. Here is a strong die gouge: Most of the time they are not this large. Report this Post to the Staff
Bob Levi Valued Member Canada 488 Posts	Posted 10/08/2014 11:22 pm Are die dents worth keeping. I just found a dime with a decent one. Was gonna post pics soon to find out what it is but guess I won't bother. Noticed on mine there is a small dot behind the head. Hmm maybe I should put a pic up. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/08/2014 11:25 pm Probably not worth much, but the stronger the die dent, the more interest there maybe for it. I save the strong ones in a tube for informational storage in case I need an image later on. Report this Post to the Staff
