Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7001 Posts	Posted 02/09/2022 12:21 am FYI an "error" is more of a 1 of 1 coin. Where as what you are showing us, we would call a "die state" due to the condition the die is in and can repeat the effects seen on your coin over and over again until the die is retired (changed out with another one). As far as 3 from the same roll, I've had a few runs with cracks and chips up to 8 and 11 in the same rolls...neat to see how the chips/cracks progress from coin to coin. Great photos by the way...

Dearborn Moderator United States 94933 Posts	Posted 02/09/2022 08:32 am looks like you used this coin to get similar responses in another topic.. http://goccf.com/t/416510 Yes die chips, (In the other topic, I said damage) but it was late and I was tired. so Yes die chips. But not errors, these are called die 'events' Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 02/09/2022 12:07 pm I think the focus of this batch is the chips, but that N has a hit. I also see Machine Doubling going on. Collectibility of chips is somewhat subjective. Unusual chips, due to location, size and/or shape, likely draw relatively more interest. Report this Post to the Staff
