CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 8:34 pm The extra metal in the date is called a die chip. Probably a die crack on the reverse. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74481 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 8:34 pm A Die Chip on the 5 of the date, but a very nice Retained Cud on the reverse, since I can see some movement of the piece! Very nice find! A keeper! Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 07/14/2019 8:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 8:39 pm Kinda looks like both 5s in the date have die chips, with the second one being very small.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 8:42 pm I agree, with crack to rim on reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 8:52 pm Thanks. Is a die chip similar to being filled in? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 8:53 pm If the die is chipped in one or more places, then the coins that are struck with it can have those details filled in.

RW1010 Pillar of the Community United States 1207 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 8:57 pm Now that I can zoom in it looks like the second picture has doubling in the wheat stalk. Is that doubling near the rim? Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74481 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 9:03 pm RW1010, I was wondering if you can get a nice clearer, non blurry close up of that Retained Cud you have, on the right wheat stock? Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74481 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 10:03 pm I agree with it now just being a Die Crack. No Retained Cud here, but it was so close! Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
