coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/02/2020 07:48 am Actually it is not a chip. It is a broken post. The post forms the incuse areas on devices. When this post breaks off, the area is now a void on the die. The void is filled when coins are struck. If the post breaks off below the fields, then the void is deeper than the fields, and rises above the devices. Thus it is a broken post issue. Report this Post to the Staff
