10 Exact errors on 10 coins; same exact location, same exact shape, same exact orientation

They are all 2000-P Sacagawea dollar coins. This "crescent moon" shape appears on the star under the E of UNITED on all 10 examples I have found.

I welcome any and all opinions regarding what I have found. Thank you.

Looks like a small die chip, they are not considered an error.
Every coin struck after the die chipped would show the same until the die
was retired. There could be thousands of them out there showing the chip.
A small chip adds no value as they are too common.

Die chips aren't errors? https://www.error-ref.com/die-chips/

No, technically they might be called varieties. In any case, your link says "die error", which means an anomoly on the die.

Traditionally/technically, an error is a one-off occurrence impacting one coin.

Lots of people confuse the terms though. It's always been the case.

Actually, the link is for Die Chips under the heading of Die Errors which was my response above to Greenstang who stated die chips were not errors.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the 1964 Kennedy HD with "the dangling 4" was caused by a die chip.

Is that directed at me JBK? If so, what you're inferring is that I'm arguing with you because you're right and I'm wrong? What a rude comment.

I do welcome opinions and opinion givers should welcome discussion in return. Not a tone of "I'm right, you're wrong and therefore argumentative".

Here is a thread I put together sometime back. It references error ref .com (noted above) and variety vista .com. These two websites give similar definitions of what is an error. One through their categories and the other through a paragraph in the green box (which gives a more global definition). As noted above many don't consider some of these things to be errors but...? I kind of mix them together to make it work for me (as noted in the thread).
