8R Error?

ELuis

Looking at two 8Rs is this an error? and if it is, how it is called?

Thanks

If you are referring to (as you don’t indicate) to the area to right of the letter F,
then that is not an error, that is a Die Chip and don’t usually add any premium.

Yes I did not mark it, it is that one.

Got it - Thanks!

Yeah, a piece of the die broke out. They happen pretty regularly in pillar coinage. Actually, I’m sure they would happen all the time in current coinage, they usually retire the die before it reaches that level of fatigue though.

That helps a lot.

If a coin with this issue will return "Details" if graded?

Thanks!

What does that area look like on the Pillars side?

No, that shouldn’t preclude a numeric grade. Unless a coin were damaged in other additional ways, this die chip is “as made” and would grade normally. I’ve had a couple grade just fine with die chips, cuds, gnarly cracks, you name it.
