seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 02/01/2016 10:27 pm No because the way they are made, If you notice that the deepest part of those letters is narrower than the outside edges where they meet the field. This is because they are cone shaped. The edge on a dent in the die would curve upward slightly as it was displaces and the edge would be narrow and pointy.

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 02/02/2016 5:58 pm I wrote into JC Stevens at cudsoncoins website about this and conclusion is Die Chip (since it is a solid clump) His final response " it's a toss up (Gas bubble/Die Chip ). I have seen Die Chips that are not connected to a device, but not many." He even offered to sent me a picture of one next time he comes across one. So pretty cool to me. Thanks for all your responses. Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 02/02/2016 6:01 pm Very cool indeed. It is pretty amazing how you can rub elbows with the experts. I do not know many hobbies that are like that. Report this Post to the Staff

As I have been finding out through my posts - we are fortunate to have the top experts as part of this forum. This is the most amazing Forum and I am glad to be a part of it. I wish I had started getting into this hobby years ago (when my vision was better). Report this Post to the Staff
