Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 07/24/2023 12:29 pm It looks raised so that would make it a die dent or a remnant die clash. Have you looked at an overlay to see if that region lines up with one of the eagle's feathers?

prisbrey1 Pillar of the Community United States 936 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 06:01 am right I didnt think it lined up so its probably a die dent this is the first time I have heard of a die dent are the pretty comon like a die crack or are they rare Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 07/27/2023 08:43 am Hmm just spitballing here, but it seems to me like die cracks would be more common than die dents. It's good to keep this as an exemplar, but not sure that there is a numismatic premium for this.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74185 Posts	Posted 08/06/2023 12:12 am Quote: what is a die dent from From error-ref.com: Quote: Definition: An area of the die is damaged by a known or unknown object, which leaves a recess in the die face. The die dent therefore appears raised on the coin. http://www.error-ref.com/die-dent/#...0dent%20die. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
