Whats up with this Indian Head Cent

Has anyone ever seen this on an Indian Head Cent date? The nine is disfigured Is it maybe a counterfeit?

It looks OK. I think the wear just caused the end and the loop of the 9 to conjoin. But, I see why you would wonder.

 

Thanks for the reply. So it would be die wear?

 

Yes, just a minor chip. Its not a rare place for one, considering how small the gap is between the bottom and loop of the 9.

 

Yup, Evan is correct. Die chip.

 

Nice looking and I believe it’s a die chip as stated.

 

Nice coin.
