CharPDX214 Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 02/07/2023 7:57 pm I found this nickel in a roll hunt. After viewing it with a microscope I noticed that on the bottom right portion of the building is connected to the rim. Would this be a type of die chip? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94666 Posts	Posted 02/07/2023 8:15 pm To straight to be a chip, maybe a die gouge.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 02/07/2023 9:49 pm I'm team die crack for this one too. Those building corners are areas of high stress on the die and prone to crack formation.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 02/08/2023 03:01 am I'm with Dearborn on this, I agree it's probably a die gouge. Looks too straight for a chip. Please no screen shots. They are too pixelated. Zoom in with your camera or a memory card. Thanks. Edited by merclover 02/08/2023 03:03 am Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/08/2023 04:23 am Not a die chip. Die crack or gouge. Being such a short run, it could be a die crack, cracks are most times not straight. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15386 Posts	Posted 02/08/2023 05:29 am Agree it's not a die chip. Leaves die crack or gouge as the possibilities. I don't see how we could tell for sure, but it does not really matter. There is little to no numismatic premium for such an example.
