Mscj1975 Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted 04/20/2015 2:21 pm Last Week I posted a 2007 P dime with a die chip above the mint mark right below the bust. Between then and now I have come across two more dimes with different shape die chips in the same place. Die Chip on all of them? 2007 P -- 1993 P -- Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/20/2015 2:40 pm Yes. Both are die chips. On the 1993 die it is a VLDS (Very senior die) but the 2007 is an earlier die state, so that is uncommon for that to happen then. But because of die clashes the dies can form chips sooner. I don't see any evidence of a clash on your coin, the location of a clash was probably the cause. Probably no premium for this one, but an interesting coin. I'd probably save it until I get a better example of a die chip. Always neat to be able to show them to a new collector. Report this Post to the Staff

I've found several 2007P's with Cud, or whatever it is in this general area, covering up the maker's initials. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/20/2015 6:40 pm Then it is happening more often than I thought. But in the earlier die states, this is uncommon. Later die states it is the break down of the die showing its age. Gas bubbles happen under plating. If the coin were heated then it would separate the cladding. But this is just a Probably for a better word, Die Deterioration area. It is raising from the coin. (die damage) Report this Post to the Staff
