[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3524501, member: 77814"]the term "error" is very specific in relation to human intervention to a die or something mechanical occurring during minting. Die Chips are just a small piece falling off of the die. Your 2018 definitely has a bunch of die chips; and that part up there probably is also die chips. As without it the die would have a piece sticking out making a large indent in that area. It makes sense that it was broken off from all the minting it does, thus a nicely placed, convincingly looking die chip. "errors" of a different design may occur in certain situations such as with 2004 Wisconsin extra leaf quarter. But a quarter expert would have to look at it. The two quarters are two different Die States .. you can see detail differences between them. ie, if they were serial numbered they've be far, far apart. A coin die is like a tire .. it wears out /breaks, chips, etc right after initial use until it non-functional.[/QUOTE]
