Very minor die chips. They're worth what someone is willing to pay. I don't think experienced collectors would pay a premium but newer collectors might.

The selling costs involved would probably exceed any premium you could get. To bring significant premiums "errors" need to have a real WOW! factor. The minor "errors" don't have it.

For me, no minor die errors and/or varieties are worth a premium. They might be interesting to find but they don't carry any real value in and of themselves.

Not much as far I'm concerned. There seems to be fascination with doubled dies these days, not matter how minor. If you need a 10X glass to see it, it's not worth anything to me.
I have been preparing a presentation for my local club that covers the cents and nickels of World War II. When I covered the 1943 over 2 nickel, I was surprised to see Heritage list it as a "doubled die" in their auction lot description. I suppose it is, but the overdate is much more interesting to me.

Ok...Thank you both for your insights ! I appreciate you taking the time !!!
I agree with the above inputs - just to add to the consensus. Minor die chips are interesting, and if I find one, I will keep it. However, I would not get it slabbed, just add to my collection in a flip and a note. Cheers, RickO
