Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 07/16/2020 06:26 am My first thought is @john1's second thought. It would very unusual for a die chip to form on the smooth field of a die.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/16/2020 3:03 pm That is a broken post that should have formed the center area of the mint mark. When these post break off the die below the fields, then they appear like your coin. Raised above the mintmark. Outside edge may have been altered by a vending machine or a counting machine that pushed that area to the left. But something to save to show to a new collector.

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 07/17/2020 6:58 pm Ah yes of course. Despite you mentioning it in your post, I didn't recognize that this was on a mintmark. @coop nails it once again.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/18/2020 10:15 am Looks to me like the Mintmark has suffered a hit which has "shaved" back part of the lower right quadrant and folded/pushed it back over the upper left. I'm not seeing a die chip, just post strike damage. Report this Post to the Staff
