merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 03/16/2023 03:53 am If you think you have a error coin, please tell us specifically what you think your error is . Otherwise we have to guess, and we're bad guessers. I see a top filled 9 which most likely a captured die chip. is this what you're trying to show us? Please next time always show us the entire coin, both sides, as well as close ups. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19171 Posts	Posted 03/16/2023 07:16 am Agree, I'm seeing a die chip in the 9.. Wonder what the reverse looks like? I'm curious because Wheat cent reverses are known for die cracks and die chips, Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7512 Posts	Posted 03/16/2023 11:06 am Although as mentioned they are not a Die event error but there are some examples that do carry a premium above the face value such as those known as BIE which it is a vertical die chip positioned in between the B and E of the word LIBERTY. And a more common ones like yours: Edited by Chase007 03/16/2023 11:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
Dclee78 New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 03/16/2023 1:33 pm Thanks and the way I'm looking at it is my first coin I posted was altered in a vise and this coin, even though not an error, maybe this was the coin that chipped the die Report this Post to the Staff
Curly82ABN Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 03/16/2023 3:08 pm Allow my incorrect statement to be chualked up to learning. In any case, understanding this aspect does no harm. At least to this engineering mind that thrives on details. Glad you called that out John LOL Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 03/16/2023 7:27 pm to the CCF and As stated above die chips are just an event that happens to the die throughout it's life. If you like them save them. Collect what you want. Edited by Cujohn 03/16/2023 7:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
