AliceInChange New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 02/16/2023 6:59 pm Is this what is called a die chip? break? Still trying to learn all the different terms. If not, what is the correct way to describe? Please help! Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 02/16/2023 9:00 pm ..a copper apple not only keeps the doctor away, but will summon the dentist. Can you provide us with a close up of the 'apple' please? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

AliceInChange New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 02/16/2023 9:44 pm The first pics and these are the best I can get. I have tried multiple angles and different zoom levels up to x30. Unfortunately, I'm limited to phone camera and clip on magnifier. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 02/17/2023 10:02 pm Nice looking little anomaly. Image #4 looks like it is "bubbling up" from below. Any chance you've soaked it in acetone yet to see if it will come off? FWIW- that is the "Charter Oak" on the quarter so that would be a honker of a copper acorn. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
