What is your point? Chris
What does that have to do with the subject of this discussion? Chris
A chip on the die does not create a space on the coin. It creates a raised area above the field of the coin. Chris
Exactly! That means that the anomaly could not have been produced by a die break. It means that coin metal that formed the wheat stalk had to be...
No need to apologize. I've seen worse! Chris
Steph, I believe you were given the correct information about these coins on your other thread. Chris

Please, let us know what you find. More often than not, I've found that the heirs think the collection is more valuable than it really is. Chris

Though it may be hard to see in this photo, this is a doubled die on the 1966 SMS Kennedy. In hand, you can see the rounded appearance of the...
