Frederick Douglass, die chips, grease or both?

    Picked up two rolls last week and found these.
    I found two different ones.

    Here's the first one. I found seven of them.

    All seven have identical die chips on the roof with very small differences. I guess if a die can chip, it makes sense that the chip could change very slightly as it continues to stamp more coins.

    All seven also have identical (again with very slight difference) chips? grease? on the hand.

    Now this one isn't the same on all of the coins. Grease?

    It won't let me add any more pictures so I'll show the second version in a "Part Two" thread.

    I've also found several with chips on the roof but not the others yet. I just ordered a bag of 100 from the Mint ("P") so I've got my fingers crossed for some other different ones. This will likely get tagged as a "Snow On The Roof" as did the Homestead chips. You will have to come up with some catchy names for the others!

    Did you notice the small chips on the "S" in Pluribus? The die that made these was long overdue to be removed from production.

    Looks like there's also one in the F in District of Columbia
