Helped Need With 1923 Wheat Cent

I don't think you understand. Finding die chips in the same area on two different coins of the same year would be extremely difficult, there could only be a few die chips like that out there on 1923 lincoln cents, but that doesn't make it any more valuable. Rarity != value, a small, almost unnoticible error like that very rarely commands a premium. And furthermore, even if the die chip placement you have is extremely common, there would be very few pictures of it out there, because anyone except newer collectors would know right away that it's a common die chip.

Even the most popular die chip varities, such as the BIE cent http://www.allsmallcents.com/img/ar...tial-BIE.jpg

Command almost no value above face.


You can literally take seconds to google " Lincoln Cent die chip" and find many many different examples of die chips with no two being alike, it won't make them any more valuable.

But like coincollecter said, if you really dont believe us, you can waste like $30 to ship it off to a TPG just to make sure.

We're not here to rip you off, or swindle you out of anything, just trying to educate.

Here, maybe this will look like it, But it's just a die chip, like we have all stated.

I kind of have a hard time believing that, who is this "coin guy"? if he'll buy that for $100 i'd take it in an instant

These do not add value to a coin. They are like fingerprints that help identify the die that created that coin. Along with die dots, die cracks, chips, breaks, gouges, die scratches are all helpful to ID a die. With out the markers are not a bad thing. It often denotes that the die was younger when that coin was struck or a die scratch has flattened or new ones added over older ones. So they are more used for ID purposes rather than add value to a coin.

Save the image and magnify it.

Well if the value isn't a main point to you, why didnt you trust us in the first place? That cent does have an interesting, albeit common, error, theres no reason to want to take it any farther than that.

Also by the way, but rust pit, the poster mentioning that meant some rust formed on the die, which would leave a raised impression on your coin, which is another possible explanation.

I do think its a great coin. Good spot for a dot. I'd keep it.
