Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 05/24/2023 01:42 am Seems like a die chip or even a die chip plus a struck through copper flake combo. Nice work!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/24/2023 1:37 pm Looking at this again. What is the biggest clue that this is a die chip? Note the affected '9'. Raised higher. Why do chips show as raised areas? Because a chip broke off of the die, and the void on the die is filled with the coin material, as taller than the rest of the devices on that area. If damage happened to a coin, the affected area would be an incuse mark into the coin. This is rising above the devices/fields. So it is a die issue, not a striking issue or post strike damage issue.
