I guess it would depend upon the audience you were showing or trying to sell to. An error collector might pay a small premium but probably not someone who wanted a clean example.

 

Thanks, I posted this coin in Jan. of this year, but ran across the chip just today. Thanks for the comment.

 

And thanks for helping out others when I send them your way on the RPM's.

 

I was gonna say that those look like accent marks till I saw the last photo.

Comments appreciated.

 

What you are showing is not an error, it is a die crack. Errors are damages to the planchet during striking, like off-center, wrong planchet, broad-struck (outside of collar), railroad rim (partial collar), etc. Things like doubled dies and over-polished dies (like 3-legged Buffalo) are not errors. They are not perfect coins, but nothing out of the ordinary happened during their manufacture.
