SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 01/09/2020 6:04 pm I'd say that's a keep or spend as you see fit. Die chips are fairly common, and one as small as that probably carries no premium in that condition. So it's really up to how much you like die chips and want to collect them.

Someone reviewing your post may catch something you might have missed. http://goccf.com/t/5450 Thanks and good luck on future finds! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 01/09/2020 6:18 pm @hokuto, can you please confirm that this spot cannot be depressed with a wooden toothpick? If so, then it would be a plating bubble rather than a die chip.
