td5173 Pillar of the Community United States 565 Posts	Posted 03/05/2021 5:56 pm Going through some of the coins I was given. I ran across this little oddity. It is a small raised area just below the steps. I have looked at lot of coins over the years and never seen a die chip here. Edited by td5173 03/05/2021 6:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

td5173 Pillar of the Community United States 565 Posts	Posted 03/05/2021 7:01 pm Yes they can it just seems like an odd place on the die is all. I thought it was interesting and was sharing. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34424 Posts	Posted 03/05/2021 8:36 pm I agree die chip seems unlikely based on location. On that flat field there is no edge, corner, or other stress riser for a chip to start. Maybe struck from a damaged die?

td5173 Pillar of the Community United States 565 Posts	Posted 03/05/2021 8:52 pm @spence that is what I thought as well it just seems like a strange place for this to happen almost the center of the die(anvil) on a flat area. Report this Post to the Staff
