Not sure, but I think the 9 looks a bit weird...

Well, not a double - it is however a die chip. Looks pretty cool how you set up your image there. I also like how the date looks with the MM - it looks like it is almost attached there to the 9.

Thank you CoinCents. The large picture is taken from my cell phone using my Lego "microscope"

And the small photo of the date was taken with my $14 computer microscope.

What would you price this as? I mean is it common for that year?

Die chips occur in all years and denominations, and are signs that a die has seen a lot of use. I don't think your example is significant enough to merit a significant premium on its own. Group a few together and you may be able to ask or a buck or two.

During the 1950's there were several of these happening. They are pretty common to find. I see them more of a distraction than a premium to me. I guess I'm just an earlier die purist.

Thanks, I still have to fine tune it so it can adjust properly with the height.
