Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 06/30/2018 04:41 am Could be a die chip, but I guess for US cents minted since 1982 (i.e. with copper plating and a zinc core), I'm always a bit suspicious that round defects like this aren't simply a hole in the plating where the underlying zinc is starting to deteriorate.
