lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 06/30/2018 08:43 am Not quite large enough to be classified as interior die break but still a nice coin. Just wanted to share Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 06/30/2018 08:52 am I suspect it's not a die chip. I think it's a damaged die. Something got in the way during a strike and pitted the die. All subsequent strikes would have that characteristic until someone noticed it and changed the die. And I bet a whole bunch of cents got recycled. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 06/30/2018 09:58 am Nice and unusual, but it does look like it is coming off of a die crack. But, I am familiar with all the technical processes and the "how" of a lot of these errors or varieties. It looks like it would be the 4mm requirements did you check with JC?

That's how I see it also CC: as bleed from a tiny die crack -- which I doubt I could have made that call were it not for lawest's excellent photography.. And funny, this: Reminds Coop of a place to park gum; reminds me of a tube of toothpaste with a small pinhole after being squeezed really hard, lol..! Swamp Report this Post to the Staff
