1994 cent with piece of D missing

Would this be caused by a broken die maybe? Would this be considered an error?

many possible reasons, not a likely variety

 

Ok, thanks.

 

Looks like die wear to me

 

Thank you!

 

One thing to always remember when looking at a coin is that the die is opposite of what you are looking at. If the spot on the coin in question is raised, the spot on the die would be..........

I think there was something in the D that would not allow the metal to flow correctly into that area. (grease?) the area you are referencing is pretty straight so who knows.

 

Ok. Thanks!

 

A broken die near the rim would be a raised cud.. Greaser most likely

 

Ok, that makes sense.

 

The back of the S looks clipped also, at least to me.
