LARGE Die Chip on 2005 cent.

This was noticed without my loupe. It's quite large. Honestly, I haven't come across a die chip this large.

Wish I could relate to the show but unfortunately I can't. Guess I ought to look it up on net.

 

Are die chips this large common?

 

Known as a Hornet's nest. That's a pretty big one. Congrats

 

It may be large enough to be considered an interior die break (IDB). The 2003 listed here is mine.

There isn't a listing for a 2005. You might want to contact them to see if they want to list it. Here is the link to the "contact us" page:

I just looked at that site and you might be correct. I sent a message about the inquiry. Mine does look like the ones posted there.

 

I think this will make it, it is pretty big
Nice one!
