Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 05/15/2022 12:31 pm Yes a die chip, but fun to find three coins struck by the same dies at virtually the same time. It could be fun to keep them together as a group.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96451 Posts	Posted 05/15/2022 1:33 pm a die chip is called an 'event' in this case a die event. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/15/2022 3:31 pm They are all from the same dies. Thus the repeat of the chips. They were probably found in an original rolls. Report this Post to the Staff
hwbfresh Valued Member United States 102 Posts	Posted 05/16/2022 10:21 am Thanks, and will keep the 3 as a set. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/16/2022 11:19 am Well the continued use of that die could create hundreds of thousands more of the same die event. So you might same and give one to a new collector that might like to start his own show and tell files. (You just can't stop a collector talking when the subject of coins come up) Put them in a tube and label interesting, but common stuff for show and tell to share in formation to a new collector. What information you learn here should be shared to the new collectors of the future. Report this Post to the Staff
