Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 12:29 pm yes, a die chip below the 'S' and simple scratches on the rim also noted. Collecting since 1972.

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 12:38 pm I too see die chips. That said, it's not in bad shape for a circulated, 100 year old coin! Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21601 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 12:38 pm A die chip is not considered an error, it is part of the minting process. Report this Post to the Staff
Tjames88 Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 1:08 pm The spot where the dot is supposed to be looks empty the other side after E is fine. With a magnifier it looks like the dot is under the s. Found it in a roll I bought a few years ago at closer views it stands out on a microscope even on a 3x magnifier. I can't find any others that look similar even on archived images, can't even find many recent ones Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 4:05 pm I think I see what you're referring to, but unless its glued on there I can't see the dot relocated that far without falling off. Thinking its a die chip under the S and the original dot location was Struck Through Grease or removed during circulation. Thanks, Doug.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19146 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 4:30 pm Photo resolution looks good, however, some of the pics are skewed/distorted--doesn't change the assessment any, but can create some confusion when looking at other details. Report this Post to the Staff
