Jeff75645 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 05/11/2020 10:34 pm I was looking through my coins and came across this piece. I'm not sure what's the terms are for what going on here. Just when I think I learn something it's back to the drawing board. What are these errors or damages? Is there a name for it. And thank you for any and all help while learn this new hobby.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/12/2020 7:34 pm Looks like the coin was struck through some debris chips. These may have been rolled on to the planchet, or during the strike. But I feel it happened at the time of the strike. Can you see where some have peeled of a bit? No a premium for these unless the peel is huge. Report this Post to the Staff

With additional photos I stick to my comments above only changing my thoughts about (old) photo #3 not a die chip, it's a struck through debris Report this Post to the Staff
