cpfull Pillar of the Community United States 603 Posts	Posted 02/27/2024 8:25 pm the plating bubbles no, not worth holding onto in my opinion, but thats me. I have many cents with various die chips I kept, but they have no added value, just interesting to me, and cheap to collect Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 02/27/2024 8:46 pm a plating bubble will eventually break open and then it is all over for the coin.. Collecting since 1972.

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 02/27/2024 8:59 pm @seek, the cost of ownership is low so save what you want. For sure, those cents with plating bubbles will always be worth only face value. You might save a couple of the biggest die chips or even start to assemble a die progression series if you are finding different size chips in the same spot.

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 02/27/2024 9:19 pm Thanks. I'll keep the coin in the 1st picture as the chip is very easily noticeable. First box of pennies I've gotten. Picked out all the wheats and have looked at about $5 so far. Only notable coin so far is 1969 D no FG, floating roof. Report this Post to the Staff
