kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 01/18/2018 1:39 pm I'm curious what might cause this. It's like the die scraped metal up and deposited it in ridges above the date. I browsed through a page or two of Heritage images and found a couple with something slightly similar on the first 9 but nothing so far like that on the 5. Sorry about the fuzz trapped inside the plastic. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 01/18/2018 2:29 pm Die chips would have to be deep in the date though, right? Seems like I usually see them in the fields. Found another one on Heritage that seems pretty similar (MS65 FBL). Well, nothing spectacular, it just made me curious. Edit: dave700x - ah, so "die ejection damage" is a "thing". That sounds right to me based on how the metal looked scraped up and over the top. Thanks, I learned something. Edited by kbbpll 01/18/2018 2:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
