Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 02/14/2022 3:51 pm we have seen this on the 'T often. But is it a chip? How could a chip occur inside the T which is incused into the die. and then it gets deeper on top of that? could it be a gouge inside the T on the die? Collecting since 1972.

This happened on several different dies that year. The area inside of the '6' might be a struck through debris issue. But the inside and outside of the '6' are two different issues. (A die event and a striking event. They both just happened on this one coin) Report this Post to the Staff
