spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/26/2017 04:10 am It's a large die chip. It can't be a gas bubble because it is pre-1982 and not copper plated. It is too small to be considered a die break (the threshold is 4 square mm). An interesting find, all told.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/26/2017 1:30 pm Just a die chip that eventually formed to look like a 'D'. But it is just a chip Note on the 7, the die wear is also flowing towards the rim. Same with the die chip on the '9'. It flow in that direction because of natural die wear. This the shape that looks like a 'D'. Mint marks don't move. Report this Post to the Staff
