But what's about this for crack in the E in "CENT" I've never seen this error and thought it interesting. Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 05/03/2023 09:42 am Die cracks are linear. Chips are little blobs. https://www.error-ref.com/part_iv__die_errors/ Search for this to find the various types: Quote: Die cracks (CW 4/25/16)) https://www.error-ref.com/die-chips/ Quote: Definition: A small piece (less than 4 square millimeters) that falls out of the die face and has no direct connection to the design rim. The missing piece leaves a void in the die face into which coin metal flows. As a result, the coin shows a featureless lump in the affected area. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95018 Posts	Posted 05/03/2023 3:30 pm the image of the date is very blurry and out of focus. But I think I see a possible die dent in the MM, and a die chip on the E Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
