Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 07/24/2016 2:21 pm One like that seems a bit unusual on any date! (Is it really a chip?) Edited by Pete2226 07/24/2016 2:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 07/24/2016 3:12 pm I have been thinking about this one...it looks more like a piece of metal struck onto the surface of the coin? Possible retained struck through? Wouldn't a die chip merge into the surrounding metal and not have the distinct, abrupt edges we see here?

11997755 Pillar of the Community United States 2253 Posts	Posted 07/24/2016 4:05 pm Kind of looks like a die break. Looks similar to the break on this "BIE"-TIY. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/24/2016 6:55 pm It is a die chip on the date. Note how the chip is developing as it ages even more with more coins struck. Report this Post to the Staff
