Hello all, Look at the 9 in 1960 and you can see that it's filled in. This is a beautiful coin for the Age.

That is a die chip. Common on the wheat cents and early Memorial cents.

That's called a Die Chip.
Errers and Varietys.

Nope. it is a large date. The small dates had even a worse track record for die chips, but this one is a die chip in a large date. Note the long extensions on the long tails of the '6' & '9'? Sign of a large date.

So is this worth more than gave value? What should I be on the look out for?

I see now. I was misled by the height of the numeral 1, the top of which perhaps took a hit that pushed it up a tad - it does appear even with the top of the 9 in these pics.

Basically a marker for a listed variety if there is the RPM/DDO / DDR. Without the hub doubling, or a RPM, they are just a normal die with a die event of the chip on it.
