MS70Error5 Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 01/21/2016 10:35 pm I notice on the reverse of these coins there is sometimes a die crack or missing chip (Don't know the correct term) near the bird's wing. Here are two with slightly different shapes in the error. Is this a common occurrence on this coin? Does it add any value? Thanks for the feedback. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/23/2016 8:21 pm Here is a clash overlay: It doesn't look like a clash issue. I feel it maybe a chip on the die that removed part of the surface. (in a thin layer) Different than other chips which are close to the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 01/23/2016 10:07 pm It might be a clash-the dies may be slightly rotated on this one ...edit: I didnt see what coop wrote underneath the clash pictures till after I posted-its more likely he's right than me Edited by Slamnbass 01/23/2016 10:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

MS70Error5 Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 01/25/2016 9:15 pm Thanks all. Pete, the area of the coin seems to be lower like a thin layer peeled off, kinda like paint chipping off the wall. Is there a technical term for this? If not, I think a "chip out" or "chip off" would be a good term. Do you think it adds a premium? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

The edge being so smooth is what puzzles me. I do not really know anything about the cladding process, but I wonder if it is subject to something like delamination? Report this Post to the Staff
MS70Error5 Valued Member United States 434 Posts	Posted 01/26/2016 11:03 pm Thanks Tweak and Pete. The die chip on your coin Tweak is in the same spot, the difference being it raised not lowered. I do not know much of the cladding process either Pete. Maybe it's a combination of the two things? Report this Post to the Staff
tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 01/27/2016 12:54 am If your chip is actually lower than the field of the coin it is only because the die had chip and retained the chip. It had not fallen off yet. Report this Post to the Staff
