It looks like a thumb or finger to me. Chris
Paddy, do you realize that you're eligible for a "ANTIQUE" license plate on your metal detector? Chris:woot:

@Mernskeeter He was sucker-punched:punch::punch::punch: more than once! Chris
Better yet, fill up two buckets and use them for the poles of a backyard volleyball court. Chris
I'd bet if you saved every coin with a die chip on it, you could fill a 5-gallon bucket in no time. Chris;)
Those images aren't very clear. I assume the coin is still in the Mint cello. Chris
Your close-up image is very blurry. Chris
It looks like machine doubling to me. Die chips are very common and can be found on almost every denomination. They really don't add extra value...
It very well could be a scratch (or gouge), but it also might be a strikethrough. It's hard to tell because the enlargement is too blurry to know...
There is no telling what substances contacted this coin after 75 years of circulation. Chris
What is your question? Chris

It means that we get threads about coins like this just about as often as a full moon. Chris
I think Fred was just being polite. Chris
When is the next full moon? Does anyone know? Chris
