    Hi guys,

    I have this 1998 P Washington Quarter and would like to ask if this in fact, considered a Die Chip on the Obverse behind Washington's head?

    Is it very unusual for a die chip to be in this location? I have not seen one like this before...

    Kinda unusual there
    Might be displaced metal from George’s hair (wig)
    Not much sale value but neat to save

    IDB, Interior die break. Sure is in an unusual spot for a die to have a break so more likely a damaged die rather than a broken one. Just guess on my part. http://www.error-ref.com/die-dent/

    Yes it is a die chip and yes, it’s in an unusual spot but they can take all different shapes and be anywhere on the coin.
