Re: 1820 Capped Bust Half Dollar O-104 - Die Rust or Die Chip?
A little slow on the response but... I don't know what is going on. If the OP coin is a raised lump and appears to be as struck (and not due to something post mint) and if the coin from coinfacts is a later die state without the lump, then I don't know how to provide any more information as the two don't appear to match… -

It looks more like a die lump than a crack, chip, rust etc. I'm unsure if this lump appears on all examples of this die marriage. -
1820 Capped Bust Half Dollar O-104 - Die Rust or Die Chip?
Hello everyone, bought this O-104 within the last year or so, and I was wondering what people’s thoughts were on this raised area near the rightmost set of leaves. I will attach some photos. Thanks! (Yes this coin also has a planchet flaw on the obverse, haven’t seen many Bust Halves with this). -
Re: 1820 Capped Bust Half Dollar O-104 - Die Rust or Die Chip?
Thanks for checking the die state progressions, I do not have that book. Perchance he did mean that chip, I wondered that as well. Are there pics of the latest die state? Since this appears to be right of the rightmost set of leaves. @lilolme Thank you for taking time to look into this! In the second photo taken under the… -
Re: 1820 Capped Bust Half Dollar O-104 - Die Rust or Die Chip?
I will attach more photos. @lilolme I was just asking if there are differences in how die lumps form as opposed to die chips. I know how die rust forms, and I know die chips come from metal that broke off I believe, but what is the difference between that and a die lump? Here are more photos. EDIT: I have a hypothetical… -
Re: 1820 Capped Bust Half Dollar O-104 - Die Rust or Die Chip?
Being that I am looking at a picture and have difficulty determining these things - could it be verified that this is a lump and that there is (edit any not to not any) not any contact mark pushed up or some added piece of metal. So as OK said above I see the same information on the die chip. I went looking for some… -
Re: 1820 Capped Bust Half Dollar O-104 - Die Rust or Die Chip?
Struck through metal imo. My guess is a small piece of metal temporarily adhered to the die. -
Re: 1820 Capped Bust Half Dollar O-104 - Die Rust or Die Chip?
I have not seen any other examples with this lump. Would a die lump depend on the die state? -
Re: 1820 Capped Bust Half Dollar O-104 - Die Rust or Die Chip?
I forgot strike throughs are incuse, duhh! Thank you for correcting me. -
Re: 1820 Capped Bust Half Dollar O-104 - Die Rust or Die Chip?
The OP stated it is a raised lump on the coin. So for a struck through would not it have be a retained struck through (the raised lump on the coin is the 'retained')? Otherwise would not the struck through create a dimple in the coin? Edit: Thinking about the struck through, would not a retained struck through be nearly…
