The first pic is a Normal Reverse It looks like a die chip and? Is that also part of the die chip or could it be another tree (possible DDR?) Normal Reverse -Side of Mountain Whats to the right of the die chip? Edited by chuckster 125 11/06/2010 12:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 11/05/2010 8:48 pm Interesting shape to that secondary (or primary) chip. Wonder if it is not too prominent to possibly be a clash. Don't have a Cal. quarter handy to check out the obverse. Just a thought. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/06/2010 08:00 am This is a chip that expands next to a hardened device and sometimes stops there. The BIE examples seem to stop when the chip reaches devices on either side of the devices. This is not a Cud. a Cud is where part of the die including the rim area breaks away. Just a chip.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 11/06/2010 11:19 am That's not a clash. Sometimes a die chip can be caused by damage to the die. That looks like it could possibly be a tool mark that punctured the surface of the die thus weakening the area opening up the chip. Of course it could also me a manifestation of a growing die chip as stated before. Possibilities are many, but the end result is that this is a die chip. Report this Post to the Staff
