RockieDog New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 7:28 pm I'm not sure if that's hub doubling on the letters, but the chips all over the back are very obvious (Die Chips Everywhere in Letters, Building, & Field) The window Looks broken on the far right, chip in the far right & left doors, & so on, this coin is in Great shape, If you look you will see some I didn't mark... simply because it would be nothing but arrows! There's even a die break on the Left of the building where the beehive chip starts. Edited by RockieDog 03/13/2023 7:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

RockieDog New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 7:50 pm I went thru a whole box of nickels, I found several that have very unique die chips & Cracks like this one... very easy to see! Edited by RockieDog 03/13/2023 7:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8731 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 7:54 pm They could all be from the same die. Look and see if you can find other markers, both obverse and reverse, like die scratches/abrasions and other cracks. Not necessarily worth anything, monetarily but it's a good learning experience. -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 03/13/2023 7:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94795 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 7:56 pm nice find of all the chips, but the doubling looks to be MD though Collecting since 1972.

RockieDog New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 9:07 pm They could all be from the same die. Look and see if you can find other markers, both obverse and reverse, like die scratches/abrasions and other cracks. Not necessarily worth anything, monetarily but it's a good learning experience. I went thru & found upper, mid & lower beginning beehive cracks, middle stages & all the way thru to a Full Beehive in years 2018 thru 2022! I can pretty much put them together & show the progression, I also have one with a Lightning bolt crack on the top of the reverse directly above the building coming from the rim (Nice size), one I call bushes on the porch 2 different years a little different from each other & a few others! Thing I like about them.. they aren't what you see every day, bonus I got a bunch of 2009's in good shape! Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8731 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 9:57 pm It would be from the same year, at least what I'm talking about. The same die, from the same year, not different years. You will find that certain types of coins, have weak spots in the dies, in general and will show cracks and chips in similar areas though. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15392 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 05:06 am Fun find with all the die chips. I see only MD on a few of the legends. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

RockieDog New Member United States 36 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 12:43 pm Interesting chips.. Machine Doubling. Sorry, no premium I knew already it was Hub or MD, that's why the post is more focused on the chips.. which bring a premium anyway! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 2:03 pm Chips are just small break away from the dies. Not a premium for these. Why does this happen? Most times when the die is not tempered enough (Die is weaker and distorts), or too tempered to soon making it brittle. I'm leaning more towards a brittle die issue from being tempered incorrectly.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 07/15/2023 10:05 am Neat coin. I like it. Just seeing this thread and wonder how many of these "chips" are actually the result of die damage as opposed to chips? There seem to be many areas in the fields on the reverse (without any accompanying die cracks) that look to be "dimples" as opposed to chips. 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
