Valhallabound Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 07/03/2019 12:14 am Looking through my collection closer and found this 1955D Lincoln Wheat cent that has what looks like a tail of a six coming off the top of the 5 in the date. Tried searching for it online and couldn't find it anywhere. As always thank you for your help and guidance in advance. It's always appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/03/2019 05:02 am I agree with die chip,but it also looks like it might be a hit that folded, up and over the displaced copper. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/03/2019 10:00 am I don't see a clash lining up with it. Die gouge of some sort? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/03/2019 12:25 pm I agree with the die chip and Machine Doubling theory. I see evidence of MD on other digits on the date. Report this Post to the Staff
