[QUOTE="900fine, post: 438075, member: 6036"][b]let's talk slag !!![/b] Always a great thread. Thanks, Bud ! :thumb: I'm kinda thinking out loud here, so someone keep me honest.... At first glance, a slag dropping might appear to be a chip in the die causing a raised spot in the coin. The more slag drops there are, the more obvious it becomes that it's really slag. If unsure, check the literature. If it's a die defect, there will be many coins with the identical defect. It should show up as a die variety. This shows the benefit of being schooled up in [B]attribution[/B]. Anyone care to add more about the difference 'twixt slag and die chips ? :confused: I suppose the slag tends to be more irregular.[/QUOTE]
