The chip I was referring to on your coin is the one in the discolored area... Your chip looks like florida :LOL_Hair: and just off its west end along the lip (top ridge) of the jacket there appears to be a crack going west???

If you want I can download your pics and put some pointers on them... That may help a little better???

:LOL_Hair: Oh okay, the thing in the discolored area! It does look like Florida LOL! I can't really tell for sure about that because of the stain. To me the "Florida thing" looks like it doesn't connect to that die crack heading west from the top of it along the jacket lip (edge). But below Florida next to the rim does look like a die chip. Let me soak this one for a little longer and see if that area clears up any. Thank you so much Jim!

You may not be able to get that cleared up any more than it is... That looks like it could damage to the copper plate??? I think the only way so show any more detail would be light angle and intensity??? Do you see the shift I am talking about on the east end of the pre cud/pre retained cud at the rim???

Just tossed it in some acetone before coffee this am :) fixing to take a look to see if that stain area cleared up any, and the shift on the east end. I will report back - thank you Jim!!!

Jim, the acetone did help some! Here's what I was able to get at the highest magnification possible and a lot of light. Still, I cannot see the separation at the east end. Do you need better pics or can you point it out to me with these? Thank you Sir!!!

Actually those pics are excellent... The chip in the stain area is part of the crack that goes across the jackets lip... On the close up of the pre cuds east end chip the shift I see on the zoomed out pic is not as pronounced so I do not think it would constitute a retained cud... Thanks Vivien!!!

Thank you Jim for looking and helping! We were having so much fun with the pre-cud that I forgot all about this one being a spike! I'll email it to JC :)
