Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74602 Posts	Posted 07/19/2025 7:57 pm It's a Die Chip. It happens when a small piece of the die chips away, leaving a raised blob on struck coins. On the coin die, it's incuse. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10586 Posts	Posted 07/19/2025 9:26 pm Nice sized die chip to be on a column. A " Cud" is a broken piece of die that affects the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6545 Posts	Posted 07/19/2025 9:39 pm It certainly looks like a die chip. With that ragged edge, I almost wondered if it might be a retained strikethrough of a stray bit of copper. It's a weird place for a die chip, it seems much more likely that the recessed areas between the columns would spall off metal chips first. Report this Post to the Staff
