Lee i got 2 or 3 of the 06P dime chips like that. I think i also have a 04P like that too. Ill see if i can find a few pics of that when i get home. But thats a cool coin chip for sure. Nice placement.

are coins like these really worth keeping?

i have hundreds of these types of coins and got rid of hundreds

so many areas in numismatics how is a person to know them all!

Most will say no not worth keeping collecting unless you like them . $ wise no not worth alot over if anyone is really paying over. face or numismatic value of the coin to start with. On keys and semi keys I would think its seen as a ( - ) and would hurt the value of the coin due to the eye sore it might bring. Me I love them and collect them actively. Cant get enough. Its simply impossible to know all areas. Anyone who says that is full of you know what. Theres always something new or something small people collect. Trail dies, Die chips or cracks, Full steps or full columns ,even the position of the mintmark on older coins.

if you ever want to dump a lot of my kinda coins let me know. But if your interested in collecting these I say go for it. If theres no flip value then you should be able to get alot cheap. and thus build your collection faster and better. Ultimate cherrypick

I for one truly appreciate your passion for collecting in this area of numismatics. They may one day take on a following again and you will be ahead of the game. Remember BIE die chips at one time were quite collected actively.
