Aircraftmech01 New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 09/25/2020 5:44 pm Another uncirculated 1959 Denver Roosevelt that I'm having questions about. I'm leaning towards a die break but still a rookie at these things. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Aircraftmech01 New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 09/25/2020 6:22 pm Would a reed hit cause the metal to be lifted? It can't be felt thru a surgical glove. Report this Post to the Staff

Aircraftmech01 New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 09/25/2020 6:29 pm Negative, It is raised up from the coin. It feels like extra metal or like the die had a crack in it and the metal filled the crack. Report this Post to the Staff

Aircraftmech01 New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 09/25/2020 6:40 pm I should add that my grandfather purchased this role of dimes directly from the mint in 1959 or 1960 and the next one in line had the same marking but not as strong. Here is an image of it. Hopefully this can give more context. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/26/2020 3:46 pm I agree, it is a die chip. Note the aging of the die is showing flow lines on this coin. So it is a senior die, ready to be retired as soon as the machinist get to it. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/26/2020 5:27 pm Very minor die chip. Not nearly large enough to add value. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 09/26/2020 6:34 pm Agreed on the value @sc, but I think it is pretty cool that the OP has a whole roll of these showing slight evolution of the die chip.
