Quantonica New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 04/23/2022 03:45 am I've had this since the mid to late 90's , person I bought it from didn't know much about it either he had the 2x2 labeled 1958 Dot , been wondering about it for a long time. There is a "dot" between United and States.The camera I used is new and I'm still figuring out the lighting. Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 04/23/2022 03:59 am Looks like a die chip. It is very common though this is a strange place for me to see one on an American coin, Canadian coins have several "dot" coinage where a die chip ended up separating devices but it's still just a die chip. That said it does look a little weird to me so could be added. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19184 Posts	Posted 04/23/2022 10:00 am Is the dot feature raised or incuse? If raised, it's likely a die chip. Report this Post to the Staff

Quantonica New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 04/23/2022 1:57 pm The dot feature is raised. It may be a common thing but it got my attention by being in an interesting spot. I'm using a Tomlov USB microscope for the pics and still figuring it out but it's exactly what I wanted. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/23/2022 2:48 pm Note the weakening of the dies devices from die polishing and die wear. So the die was starting to break down at this point. Thus it isa die chip that you are seeing. Just a face value coin though. Not a premium for this. Report this Post to the Staff
