What can we learn about this type of die chip. They said most happened from 1956-58 but this is a 54 does that affect monetarily?
I feel like most die chips are extra collectible for that niche group. Maybe not worth more, but easier to sell potentially
Just my opinion and $5 might get you a cup of coffee but I collect them and just catagorizing them as described by the experts. Although not doubled die varieties they still can be interesting to some and show how difficult the minting process is to have such intricate and beautiful designs that have been used over our country's history placed on coinage. Just my opinion
First of all.. it happened during the 1950's on any of those years. It's just a worn die strike issue that caused the Die Chip.. Really nothing major. Premium? Only because it's an interesting slab. But raw = no premium.
Regardless of the date, minor die chips add very little, if any value to the coin. As others have said, somebody took a loss when they sent this coin to ANACS. Even in the slab, it probably isn't worth more than common wheat cent. Maybe somebody will toss a buck or two at it for the novelty of a low value coin in a slab. On a related note, trying to put a date set of BIEs or die chips in the date night be a fun endeavour. Wouldn't be worth much, but I would enjoy seeing something like that and appreciate the effort. It would be a cool set
