Newbie15 New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 08/05/2024 09:02 am Would like some opinions on both the potential Dye Chip/DDO and Pattern that goes from the bottom left to the top right of the obverse. 1. The image that has the arrow pointing to it looks like it may be a DD or dye chip. thoughts? 2. Is the pattern that goes from up left to right post damage or something from the mint. I've seen similar looking defects on other pennies. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74295 Posts	Posted 08/05/2024 2:08 pm A circulation hit isn't an error. It's PMD. Not a DDO. Just a spender. I would suggest studying up on the minting process, so you can better understand what can and can't happen during the minting process. https://www.usmint.gov/learn/produc...n-production Errers and Varietys.
