Dearborn Moderator United States 97229 Posts	Posted 10/30/2022 12:17 pm Looks like the 'N' took a hit and dented it. The like through the arch on the left side looks like damage, just to the right of that and up a little looks like a die chip. The 'watermarks' you see on the far right are the designers initials.

prisbrey1 Pillar of the Community United States 936 Posts	Posted 10/30/2022 12:21 pm does the chip bring any premium and what do you mean stain does the stain kill the coin does it make it just a spender Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97229 Posts	Posted 10/30/2022 1:38 pm chips add no extra value, and yes, a stain detracts from a coin in most cases. Collecting since 1972.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 10/30/2022 1:48 pm If you want to catch a rainbow trout, you need to know what a rainbow trout is. The same with coins. Most odd looking things on coins are just post mint damage ( PMD) Save Yourself time, effort, and disappointment...don't learn the coin hobby backwards. Looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage or useless Machine Doubling, Die Deterioration, die chips etc. Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like. A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins.
