ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 12/28/2008 7:20 pm I purchased 8 rolls of new 2008 Canada cents and found 12 coins that contained die chips in the word "REGINA" in the letters "R" and "G". Anyone else come across this? Report this Post to the Staff

Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 12/29/2008 3:10 pm Are both of these die chips? They look quite different, with the left being amorphous and the right being pretty geometric. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/29/2008 3:42 pm Both of those marks are interesting, especially the one on the right. Do dies normally wear this way? Update: I showed this to a guy who looks at a lot of cents, and they look like die chips to him. Report this Post to the Staff
ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 12/29/2008 7:52 pm I'm really new to this...Are they considered quite common or would this be a variety? Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/29/2008 8:05 pm I think that chips this size are fairly common. Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5604 Posts	Posted 01/10/2009 7:56 pm I think they are very common also, while on the subject why would this not be considered a die gouge, leaving a chip in the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/10/2009 8:00 pm I thought the mark on the "R" was a bit unusual, but I was informed that it's a typical die chip. I don't see enough to know the difference. Report this Post to the Staff
