Do you have some examples you can share of minor, major, medium and whatever? Can you link me up with some resource?
Note that there is no definitive definition for a "small", "medium", or "large" die break. It is completely subjective. What I think is a minor die break, another may consider major. Here is one I consider large.
The image is not mine. But I can assure you it is a die break. Plating blisters have less-defined edges. This is a classic die break often referred to as a "hornet's nest", due to its location. If you even want a progression of this die break, here is a set of how the break progresses, courtesy of Richard Cooper. http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/Die-chip-progression-2008-P.gif
Keep lookin at those Clad Roosies. Because they are lousy with many different minor die chips. So much so that if you collect them, you will really want a Major one, not these little bits and pieces. I've looked at hundreds of rolls of dimes and this is just something I've seen a lot of.
Well said. When I search cents, I only keep the larger die breaks, or ones in interesting locations, such as BIE cents. Anyways, also hope my post cleared up for the OP that the coin I posted before is an actual die break and not a plating blister.
