NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 978 Posts	Posted 09/06/2023 10:51 am This one isn't listed on VV, Wex or CC. The 2nd bay roof and upper 3rd column appear to be doubled. The oblique image shows this is clearly not PMD and I don't believe it is a chip or crack. I'm also not 100% convinced it is a new DDR, is there something I'm missing? Your feedback is appreciated.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 09/06/2023 12:25 pm I dunno, I don't think it is a chip - maybe a hit, I'll defer to more knowledgeable folks here on this one Collecting since 1972.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/06/2023 12:33 pm Odd shape for a die chip,I don't think it is a die chip. I do not think it is a doubled die either. Might be from die abrasion I see polish lines in the bays. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/06/2023 1:05 pm Looking at the full-coin image, the doubling seems to have reduced the device. I'm gonna go with a well-placed ding. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6454 Posts	Posted 09/06/2023 1:05 pm A curved die chip with a clean edge? That seems less likely than other plausible explanations. Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4395 Posts	Posted 09/06/2023 2:11 pm I suspect this could be a combination of a die clash remnant and severe Die Deterioration. I think I see the slight curved mark from the back of Lincoln's neck on the lower left side of the fourth bay. Report this Post to the Staff
NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 978 Posts	Posted 09/06/2023 4:37 pm Thanks for all the feedback and theories. I'm not sure if I'll submit for attribution. Until then this one goes into the X-files. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Report this Post to the Staff
