I was wondering what you guys thought of it. Is it a strike through, lam error, or something else? Thanks for your thoughts! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 07/07/2019 06:02 am I agree with e&v although if this extra part of the 9 is easily depressed with a wooden toothpick, then it would be a plating blister rather than a die chip.

Vivian410 Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 07/07/2019 5:00 pm Oh ok so this is similar to the ones from the 50's then right? @spence I will double check that but I don't think it is the plating I have seen a bunch of those and this one seems different. Thanks for the info those guys I am trying to make sure I get My little details right. :) Report this Post to the Staff

We see die chips on the dates fairly often here on CCF.
