is the spot on the E what i see referred too as a die chip? does it make it worth keeping? or bring any value with its conition?
Not really a keeper, when it comes to errors of this kind, die chips and small laminations are pretty much the bottom of the totem pole for desirability.
That's a pretty good size of a die chip. I'd keep it. I sold one a little bit larger then that awile back for around 25 bucks. Not too bad for a die chip! E-bay you got to love it..
