I just found this '57-D wheatie with a neat die chip. I'm sure there is no extra value for it but it's neat to look at anyway....

Looks like the kind of thing you could point out on ebay and make a couple bucks. Nice find, it's the kind of thing I would pay a little extra for.

I agree with that - it's a rather odd die break, and would probably sell with a very modest premium value....a buck or so.

Even at $1.00 that's 100X face value, not too shabby!

There is a lamination issue on Abe's forehead, the die chip is touching the 9&5 in the date and the mintmark.

Looks like the lamination is covering the 9&5 and the mint mark.
