<p>[QUOTE=&quot;paddyman98, post: 25139265, member: 44615&quot;]Yes. Die break, die Chips and cuds are well known. It&#039;s when the Die used to strike the blank planchet is worn and it cracks or pieces start to break off. When it strikes the blank the metal from the planchet fills the void in the die so it appears raised on the coin such as your Cent. Keep in mind that it is never added material on the surface. You mentioned &#039;a line of copper&#039; and &#039;a glob&#039; in you post so I imagine that you believe it&#039;s added metal when it is not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
