Found a little stash of 2x2's and in it were P D S sets of 1955 pennies... the interesting thing is I found multiple examples of a Cud showing the lower half of the first 5 filled in... how common are these? I found a few examples on the bay... but not many.
That specific type of die chip (minor die break) is referred to as a filled digit. There are individuals who collect them, but they generally command low premiums as compared to Cuds (major die break).
Thanks... still learning the lingo around coins and errors... I think I've got six or seven examples of that die break and several examples with clear dates in 2x2's that I just looked through... and most of the ones I saw on the bay typically had the top of the 5 filled in, not the bottom like my examples...
