<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2991546, member: 66"]I said the HUB chipped not the die. On the hub the O is raised, If you chip off part of the letter the die will not have a depression in that area and the coin struck from it will not have raised features there. There are many coins with broken letters like that that are caused by chipped hubs. Seated coins often have the top of the D in UNITED open. Two cent pieces as well and often the serif of the D is gone. Shield nickels have a lot of problems with various letters broken on the rev. The Hub of 68 rev nickels all came from the same hub and you can trace them from no broken letters through six broken letters before they finally junked the hub.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
