Bumping this. Just to see if anyone else has seen one like it? A large die chip, perhaps?

Me either. In fact, the only Franklin variety I know of is the "Bugs Bunny".

The man on that coin has been around for almost 50 years. I'd have a double chin too if I were just sitting in a closet for that long.

Some kind of die chip looks like the best explanation to me. Have you checked the text on the same side of the coin? If they exhibit some degree of die fatigue, then it would support the notion of wear and tear of the die.

The text looks good. An after thought here. Could it have been a over zealous die polish or attempt at grinding a bad spot off?

mine is the same as the pic. looks like it was the pic on the die that had a double chin by mistake thats how the coins got it.it doesnt look like a die chip its to straight or perfect to be a die chip.
