MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 07/04/2016 10:22 pm Found this tonight in a roll. Strange mark on reverse, looks to big to be a die chip. Is it a die gouge? I checked the resource sites I know and cant find a listing for this. Is it a die gouge, or something else? All opinions welcome. Thanks again...Mont. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 07/04/2016 11:09 pm Is it raised from being displaced? Look at it closely. If not, maybe it's a die dent. Edited by CoinMasters 07/04/2016 11:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Too knew to collecting to tell difference...1st time hearing of a die dent. Spun coin and took new pic. Looks like half dome. On looking again it does have a raised line at base(had to rotate and angle coin to see). Edited by MontCollector 07/05/2016 12:37 am Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 07/05/2016 08:15 am Yes I Agree with John1, they are common on the Shields and when I first started seeing them I posted my cent to find out what it was (just like you). It is the start of a die chip/crack. I now have some that are fully formed into cracks and chips. I am sure you will come across those as well. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/05/2016 09:37 am I agree with the die chip theory. But I feel this one is slightly different. It appears that the chip on the die was a thin layer. But why the circle at the end of it? I don't know on that yet. Edited by coop 07/05/2016 10:39 am Report this Post to the Staff
