Looks like a chip or gouge to me, too (I really do not know how the difference between "chip" and "gouge" is defined). There are some DDOs for the year with a bar under the L, which is what caught my attention. This looks to me to be a little too far south, though to be DDO. Photos like this can be deceptive - a bit difficult to see whether the feature is raised or incuse. Thanks for looking. I usually appreciate another perspective. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 02/19/2018 11:08 am Anytime Pete. The gouge is larger than the chip, I think it has to be 4 sq millimeter. It looks raised to me and plenty south. Edited by CoinMasters 02/19/2018 11:12 am Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 02/19/2018 11:17 am I have seen the 4 sq mm used with a definition of internal die breaks (as distinguished from Cuds), but never with regard to chips vs gouges.

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 02/19/2018 11:29 am I don't have the link, I've heard it on here a few times. I'm pretty sure it's correct. Glad you like my E-file. You and anyone else on here are welcome to use any of my E-files anytime, but use them only on CCF. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/19/2018 12:22 pm The black thread is also an error. A struck through error. Did you note the creases through the 'IN'? That was there when the coin was struck. (don't remove it) This is the only item I see on your coin that would be a modest premium. Report this Post to the Staff

I included that photo hoping someone would see it an comment. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/19/2018 12:53 pm Correct. Every once in a while the hang on for the long haul: This one was in a BU OBW roll. I wondered why it looked so bad, then noticed the reason. You can see the impression marks by the fiber that was still attached. Report this Post to the Staff
