Looks like a die chip/break to me. Red arrow on close-up picture points to what I am referring to.     Is this a Die break, Die chip, or PMD? All opinions welcome. If you see anything else on coin I my be missing please let me know. Thanks again...Mont. Edited by MontCollector

Montcollector, looks like a break in junction of two legs of R. I was looking at LIBERTY, strikes me as being "full", like enlarged letters. No listings as such on coppercoins tho, maybe its pix/lighting or just a good strike, first impression was a proof? Give me a closeup od date and MM if you would please, I'll check some more.  |

Thanks Crazybo.  Got this in change today. Looks in really good condition for the age. I was thinking it may have come out of someone's collection. Quote:

Not sure what IDB is, inside die break? If that's what you're asking, then yes. Think in reverse how a die looks, the junction of the legs in the R comes to a sharp "V" point. The legs are "incuse". If a tiny piece at that tip breaks off, a "dimple" is made in the die, which in reverse causes the "Die chip" you see. Now, just where do you think that little piece went that broke off? Wanted date and MM to check for any other listed errors, none on the SD.  |

inside/interior is the same.. No, the pix was great, was trying to verify if there were any errors/OVD/RPM/DDO / DDR for the 1960 D small date. There are none listed nor did I see anything on your coin, just a nice XF45+ coin. |

I would call it a die chip because of its small size and not a die break.

There are none listed There are many RPMs listed for the 1960-D small date cent. On the coppercoins website, I believe they start at 1MM-101. |

I'd call this a die chip too. My understanding of a die break is that it's a larger die crack? It is an interior die break, but would not be an LDB that is catalogued by Cuds on Coins. To fit their criteria, the die chip has to be between the letters of LIBERTY, and not be a chip simply within a letter. The picture below is also of a 1960 D cent. I sent images of that one along with a 1995 IIB LDB that I'm waiting to have catalogued. BJ Neff voted nay on this coin.  |
