-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8731 Posts	Posted 11/20/2025 06:54 am Bill, not for sure what you are referring to, but there is a die chip extending from the mintmark to the bottom of the 9, sometimes called a "flying D". You also have a die dent at the edge of the coin, from the rim out into the field. If neither of these things are what you are talking about, you will need to point it out. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
