<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 3296015, member: 99642&quot;]Hi, the stuff in the &quot;windows&quot; looks like die chips. A die chip happens when a, usually small, piece of the die is broken out or off, and when that die strikes the coin blank (planchet) that small empty space in the die is then filled with the metal of the&nbsp; planchet. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Personally, I don&#039;t see the other stuff you&#039;re talking about. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; If you can, provide a pic of the front (obverse) of the coin and a close-up of what you&#039;re most interested in. Pix are always good.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Hang in there and more experienced and knowledgeable members will see your post and give their opinions of what they are, and what the value may be.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; As far as &quot;sending it out&quot; to be evaluated...Sure, if you&#039;ve got lots of money and nothing else to spend it on. My advice is to just wait and an expert member of this forum will give you the same quality of advice as any of the TPGs (Top Grading Services) could give you, but here it&#039;s for free. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; If you feel you&#039;ve received good advice in an honest and straightforward manner and you want to see this site and forum continue, you could consider taking just a small portion of the money you would spend &quot;sending it out&quot; and make a donation for the operation, maintenance and upkeep of this site. Though the advice given is free, the site itself requires funds to operate and maintain.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; With all of that said, I want to thank you for posting and asking a very pertinent question, and most of all, I want to say Welcome to <b><i>Coin Talk !!</i></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
