1969 proof New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 03/16/2018 1:57 pm In my search through my many Wheaties I started finding 1957 D with the circle part of the nine filled some completely and others not as much. And a few that match identically so my question is has any body else found or noticed this error Report this Post to the Staff

nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3469 Posts	Posted 03/16/2018 5:17 pm Is a die chip and a broken post the same thing? Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 03/17/2018 11:46 am Seems the dies were put through the ringer during the 1950's. Die chips, cracks and breaks are very common. Some collect and some don't. This year produced several DDO's and RPM's. Look for them as well. Thanks, Doug. Quote: Is a die chip and a broken post the same thing? http://www.error-ref.com/die-chips/ Die Breaks: Die Chip: Definition: A small piece (less than 4 square millimeters) that falls out of the die face and has no direct connection to the design rim. The missing piece leaves a void in the die face into which coin metal flows. As a result, the coin shows a featureless lump in the affected area.

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 03/17/2018 12:29 pm Quote: Is a die chip and a broken post the same thing? Yes. Any unintended recessed chip in the die becomes a raised chip on the coin. The die and coin are opposite of each other, one is positive and the other is negative, Report this Post to the Staff
