@A1a, I agree with the above, but wanted to quibble over one part of your description. Unless the die chip formed immediately before this coin was struck and then it was replaced following this one coin, your coin is not unique. Much more likely is that there are hundreds or even thousands of them out there and you just happened to have found this one. In part, that is why there is not really any numismatic value to this die chip and mint errors which only occur a handful of times are worth more.

Do TPGs even recognize "chips" as errors or certain varieties?

It's like the Bugs Bunny Franklins (a rather unfortunate die clash), the Spitting Horse quarters (a die crack), the Speared Eagle Sacagawea dollars (a die gouge)... they're all minor, there are 1000s of other similar occurrences that don't have the recognition and "value".

And note the E2830 coin designation - PCGS coin# 2830 with a mint error.

I have to agree that all of these are pretty funny. And if you think of it, this coin is funny too. "But It's Snot." Is it a one of a kind? Well, until another is discovered, yes it is. Not only is the chip placed squarely on the horses nose (location, location, location), but it is large and has an unusual cork screw appearance. As mentioned, it's all about the hype. I understand that ANACS will not only grade an error coin, but will also inscribe the error as part of the labeling. So again I ask, after all of the discussion, is this coin worth grading? |

re: A1girl's original question. If you use the basic equation: Cost to have a coin graded vs Value of coin (even in a TPG capsule) then, I would have to say No, your coin isn't worth grading. Now you can have it graded of course. If NCGS is grading a "Minor Die Chip in Date" as an Error, then who knows? |
