Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6458 Posts	Posted 10/28/2025 7:06 pm My first impression is that it's a die chip. However, given how the center of the D appears scraped flat and lower than the two points, I would carefully inspect that feature from the side. It might be folded over metal from a wrapping machine scrape. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 10/28/2025 7:21 pm yep, just a die chip, but maybe this quarter wanted to be from Philadelphia Collecting since 1972.

Spence Moderator United States 34395 Posts	Posted 10/28/2025 8:13 pm My vote is for it being a die chip plus a broken post (causing the center of the letter D to be filled in). Makes sense that these might occur in conjunction with each other.
