coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/24/2022 09:53 am Raised areas would be a die chip. (Die incuse void area, showing as raised a area on a the coin) Incuse marks would be damage to the coin. (damage to a coin, and not a plus for the coin) The missing drum design is a small Grease Fill in the die issue on this coin. (too slight be collectable) Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 08/24/2022 2:45 pm Looks like the holes might have been in the planchet. This area on the drum is an area that didn't get struck up fully because the portrait needs so much metal to fill in, it takes it from the reverse. I see a lot of these holes in Lincoln cents, don't know if I've seen it too much on clad coins. Report this Post to the Staff
