<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 8219573, member: 106826"]Thought on die chips/breaks: some anomalies on Zincolns appear as a die chip, but might be zinc rot (hydrozincite). Especially on a quick glance. So give it a second or two longer to figure out what you have. Certain die chips/breaks are desirable to a group of collectors, like BIE cents (LIBiERTY) and Bee Hive cents (in the columns or adjacent outer buildings). Some decades ran dies until they catastrophically exploded, and in other years, they were less likely to happen. For instance, modern BIE cents are less frequent than say BIE cents from the 50s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
