A die chip occurs when a small piece of the die breaks, or chips, off. There's no way a die will get that piece of metal back, so every coin struck with the die will have that feature.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/18/2020 10:46 pm If it breaks off the die, all coins after that will have the same die chip or get worse as it is continued to be used. If you have a broken hub, then you can have several dies created with the same hub chip. (which will be incuse and not raised on the device on that area) Report this Post to the Staff

So a teaspoon at a time helps to reduce the load of learning. Same images and even the post as a screen shot. That way you will have a record of it. Report this Post to the Staff
