I've been extremely busy with work and haven't had a chance to post much lately but thought I would post this and get opinions. This one struck me as odd with very sharp edges to the anomaly on the inside leg of the 9. It almost closes the loop! I just thought I'd share and there's not much chance of knowing what happened but any thoughts or comments are appreciated. It seems to have a minor split upper serif and the top of the 8 seems to be "flat" or not fully round. Hopefully, my images capture this effect. Thanks for looking and for any insight members can provide. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21630 Posts	Posted 06/17/2021 10:44 am The top of the 8 looks like it may have taken a hit. The 9 looks like a Die Chip that has been worn down. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 06/17/2021 9:34 pm Thanks everyone for taking a look and for the comments. A die chip is what I was thinking as well, but not from age or Die Deterioration since this one seems to be an EMDS. I also posted this to another forum and Bob Piazza (of CC fame) replied : Quote: This die is pretty famous. Since it was discovered, there has been disagreement between people as to if this is a misplaced D mintmark, or a well formed die chip. I've been very busy as of late but will have a contest in the next couple of weeks and I've got a number of nice prizes lined up. Just have to figure out the details. Thanks again, stay safe, and enjoy Fathers Day this weekend. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
