Can die chips ever be as collectable as...

VANMs?

Cuds?

Mint mark Size variaties?

Rpms repunched mintmarks?

I know each is a specialty field but think chips can be in the same class of collecting? Will chips gain enough interest to be like any listed above

    Doubled Dies?

    Trail Dies?

    Die Cracks?

    Die Clashes?

    There is already a lot to collect.

    As a general catagory, no.

    If they haven't caught on in
    50 years, I doubt they will.

    There are always exceptions,
    of course - collectors will pick
    which die chips/breaks they
    like - usually either because they
    are dramatic, or in a certain area
    of the coin that gives the coin an
    unusual 'look' to it....

    As a collectable, die chips are about as popular as collecting cow chips.

    What? You mean cow chips aren't collectible? image

    I would seriously doubt they would ever become an area of major focus. As stated above, perhaps a chip strategically placed to create an item of unique interest, but not much more than that. Cheers, RickO
