Hello, everyone, I need feedback regarding multiple coins that I found on a bankroll with what it looks like a jar to the right side at the window of Jefferson nickel reverse. I have checked online for the actual photo and I don't see that error or variety on the original coin design. Any information will greatly appreciate it. Thank you.   |

Good eye!  Those appear to be die chips. They are interesting, but too small to have any premium value. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

These are called Die Chips.
Errers and Varietys.

Strange because the one to the right has small lines designs on it. I wish I can take a closer photo, unfortunately, my camera is not cooperating.

If I am understanding, the lines you see to the right appear to be very minor die gouges. Die flow lines came to mind, but they should be angled directly to the rim. That's not the case with these.
To consider those lines on this coin is "looking too close."

Contrary what spruett says, those die chips are big enough to draw a premium. That type of error is also called an interior die break. Die chips of that size on modern nickels usually go for around $2 or $3. See here for an example of a recent sale of a similar die chip. https://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI...047675.l2564 |

Die chip often break off a bit at a time. They are progressive. Thus the lines you are seeing. Just a die showing age and slowing breaking down.
