LOL There are also 2 spots in his hair that I circled that seemed abnormally large. I didn't find anything else on either side but I am including a picture of each in case it helps. I tried finding it on wexlers and copper coins but I couldn't find anything. Thanks again! (For helping and putting up with me! ) Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/27/2016 10:55 am You often see die chips on the field next to the design or devices. They are actually a piece of the die that has fallen away from the die. They are usually irregular in shape and are usually continuing to keep chipping as the die is continued to be used. Die gouges are usually on the fields because they are on the outer face of the die. When the die is polished, it is just the fields that are affected. The fields are the highest part of the die, the lowest spot on the coins. The devices are deeper into the die, and they are the highest areas on the coin. So contact like rubbing can makes these marks and die dent can happen at the same time if the die is dropped. But the marks will be just in the fields. Report this Post to the Staff
