That inner loop is a little "post" of metal on the die, subject to thousands of strikes at high pressure, and it's not hard to imagine them snapping off. Report this Post to the Staff

Also the 1960 small date coins have more chipping on a lot of areas, thus the retirement of these dies and the issue of the large dates for the same year. Your coin is a large date, so as SD mentioned it can happen on different years as well. We see if less on the single squeeze dies as the profile is a lot less than the multi-hubbed dies. But even on these you can still find chips, less often on the date area. Report this Post to the Staff
