1983 P Nickel Unconnected Die Chips?

You're right Newbie, it usually is connected to a device. That's because it's a stress point on the die from repeated strikes on the device edge. This one's a little away from the device, why is anybody's guess. My guess is on this coin the planchet metal near the device was a little stronger than farther out, or maybey there was a small void farther out, maybe a weaker foreign substance in the planchet. We see chips and gouges in the fields from objects that have poked the die fairly frequently. I think the location and size of this one supports my guess.

You're welcome. I bumped your post back at the top so other CCF members can answer it. When I see posts unanswered, I try to give an answer so it doesn't remain unanswered.
