I have a few other copies of this one, but they all are either lower grades or cleaned. Photo by Phil Arnold at Great Collections.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 12/07/2025 7:59 pm I'm not that familiar with these coins - I'm not seeing a 'big die chip', but I do see a die crack from the forehead to the rim between the 'EI' of DEI, and what looks like a small struck through in the I in Gratia. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

bosox Pillar of the Community United States 1348 Posts	Posted 12/09/2025 3:25 pm The die chip lies between the die crack (between the E and I) and the E. The crack formed first, followed by the triangular chip. The I in GRATIA is either a planchet defect, a struck though, or old damage, but tough to be certain. It has been there a very long time. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J. Douglas Ferguson Award Winner, & 2022 Paul Fiocca Award Winner. Life Member of RCNA.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 12/10/2025 12:32 pm ok, so that tiny triangle chip I would classify as a possible small RIDB. Collecting since 1972.

bosox Pillar of the Community United States 1348 Posts	Posted 12/10/2025 2:06 pm Everything is relative. That triangular chip is as big as you will find on a large cent. As far as RIDB goes, maybe, but I think the chip from the die fell out. I have seen several of these and they all look the same with the chip about flush with the letter E and the die crack. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J.
