Sarge50 Pillar of the Community United States 768 Posts	Posted 09/11/2019 2:13 pm John1, so a "die chip" is what in the BIE's? I wanted to identify these correctly and saw that the "Die Break" in the BIE was similar? Just want to get my terminology correct! Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/11/2019 2:19 pm BIE's are die chips. I think a die break is something way bigger,but not positive on the correct terminology.On the date,I call them die cracks.Have you been researching tips on your photography? Pics still look a little blurry to me. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 09/11/2019 2:41 pm I see the chips. Photograph quality takes a bit to master. Especially if you are using a non-macro setting. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74707 Posts	Posted 09/11/2019 3:29 pm Yep, those are Die Chips, not Die Breaks. Very common on the 1950's Wheat Cents. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: Yep, those are Die Chips, not Die Breaks Is there a link you can give me to read up on the differences? I checked the glossary here on CCF to no avail really.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74707 Posts	Posted 09/11/2019 5:50 pm John1, read the link here. There's a obvious difference between the two. https://cuds-on-coins.com/die-chips/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/11/2019 6:16 pm EV, Thanks for the link. I clicked on it and it comes up as a die chip.But the first thing that came to my mine when I say the coin was RIDB. Then I used the search box on that site and typed in die break,and it shows coin like the one they show as a die chip...even more confused now https://cuds-on-coins.com/die-chips/ https://cuds-on-coins.com/die-breaks/ John1 Edited by John1 09/11/2019 6:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
