Hey everybody, I have this 1950 S Wheat penny and I noticed that a piece of Lincoln's mouth was missing. I don't think this is circulation damage, I could be wrong. What are your thoughts?

The whole profile on the face is showing weakness from over polishing. But it can be worse:

No premium for your coin though. The value is knowing what happened. The die was over polished on the fields reducing the devices/designs. Continued polishing, continues to weaken the devices.

Thanks coop, I doubted it had any premium, but it is still an interesting deformity, like he's talking. I kept it.
