Message:: [QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 873641, member: 7957"]I hate to disagree with THE expert, but I overlaid the two dates.  If it is a die chip, it has a couple strange properties.  First, the real mm perfectly overlays the MM from the Cherry Pickers Guide.  I mean the thin top, the shape of the hole, its position and its angle.  As for your die chip, it also has the same characteristics as the example - the tail at the top, the angle of the flat on the "D", the small gap between it and the loop of the "5", and even the exact location of the small bridges (3) of that gap.  Just to add fuel to the fire, the tail of the misplaced "D" and the top left corner of the "5" have what appears to be identical nicks on both coins in exactly the same spots. I find these coincidences beyond belief that a die chip occurred with that many matching indicators and has the real MM in at least, as close as I can determine, the identical position.  I believe that they have to be from the same dies. I am not sure how much you can make out from my pictures, but they are of the OP's coin on top of the reference at 40% opacity and 70% opacity.[/QUOTE]
