This is called a die break. When the die cracks the open/spread area of the die will leave a raised line. When the material is breaking off the die near devices, they are called a chip. This is a die break the die is starting fall apart. That is why it is much larger.
Rest in Peace

You beginning to realize just how common these are? Just shows you how your public servants are realty trying to save your money by reusing these worn out dies! Too bad they don't do so well any more!

You got the chip(s), who's bringin' the dip?...almost big enough to call a Cud!

Coop Thanks for the correction of terms and the explanation I always learn something new from your replies . You are a wealth of knowledge. Crazybo yes I am realizing how common they are especially on the philly coins . When I first started looking at coins I would save every one I would find but now I only keep the large ones and have gone back and thrown several back in the change jug .

I wouldn't call it a die break. It is a die crack with the die chipping away along the edges of the crack.
Rest in Peace
