JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21597 Posts	Posted 08/01/2022 07:01 am Multiple die chips but they are not an error. Die chips are just part of the minting process that don't really add any value. Report this Post to the Staff

datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 08/01/2022 10:49 am I agree with the others, these are die chips and are very common especially on some of the modern dimes recently from 2021-2022. When they are a bit larger, add something interesting to the design of the coin, or have many on the same coin or along with other minor errors, there are many collectors out there who purchase them. Some dime examples here: https://cuds-on-coins.com/roosevelt-dime-idb/ Here is a 2021-p washington crossing the delaware quarter sold for 16.27, but generally the small ones on the modern dimes are considered to have little to no true added value as others have mentioned.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/01/2022 2:01 pm On the last image, I always refer to these as: (There is where I left my gum?" Or compared to bird droppings. Just a die event that happens often on these dimes. Report this Post to the Staff
