Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75042 Posts	Posted 02/16/2018 8:40 pm I found this in a circulated bankroll from a bank box of U.S. Pennies. It also shows a Die Crack on his head and Die Dents. There is a lot going on with this coin. This die was on its way out. It's a very impressive example. Errers and Varietys.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/16/2018 9:25 pm It might be a gas bubble. Or it might be a die dent. The difference? The gas bubble will flatten. (5:00 on obverse) Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75042 Posts	Posted 02/16/2018 9:31 pm Thank you Coop for your response. I was thinking it could be a Gas Bubble now that you stated it. After its Acetone bath, I'll poke at the area and see if it flattens. If it doesn't, then it's a Die Dent. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 02/17/2018 11:57 am What are you calling a RIDB? Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75042 Posts	Posted 02/17/2018 12:00 pm CoinMasters, there's a Die Crack on the bust of Lincoln that turns into a RIDB because the piece of metal is cracked, but it hasn't fallen away yet, making it a Retained Interior Die Break. If you look carefully at my first picture, you can see the RIDB with the Die Crack. Somewhat hard to see, but it's there. Errers and Varietys.

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 02/17/2018 12:09 pm A break has to show horizontal or vertical movement. I see a chip in it. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75042 Posts	Posted 02/17/2018 2:21 pm I'll take better pictures when I get home. I already did an Acetone soak on this coin. This was before the soak. Here's what it looks like after the Acetone soak. Also with improved pictures. Errers and Varietys.

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 02/17/2018 8:58 pm Thank you Coinmasters, Thank you for that. Now I know what my 1940-S Nickel is, it has a horizontal break from you of ..RIBUS to S of States. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 02/18/2018 12:37 pm If the piece was still in the die there would be no design elements in that area. It looks like a nice crack, gouge and chip to me. I missed that one Chase, I'll see if I can find it. Here's a Retained Die Break, a Cud because it involves the rim.
