mnall65 New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 09/22/2020 12:45 am Chip out of the bottom of the 6 in the date. Chip in the die or something that added an extra line on the R in LIBERTY. What is going on with his head? Is that normal spacing and size of the last T in TRUST? Die chip on the left wheat head. Tiny S in PLURIBUs, is that normal? Doesn't seem like it compared to my other wheat cents. I'd like to get your guys' thoughts and opinions. Much appreciated. Edited by mnall65 09/22/2020 09:31 am Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 09/22/2020 05:59 am @mnall, it looks like you have uploaded pics from a second coin. This can happen when you use the same file name for two different pictures. For the '56 cent, the "chip" out of the number 6 in the date would most likely be damage.

mnall65 New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 09/22/2020 09:53 am Thanks for the replies! @Spence Couldn't get the camera to focus on it, I'll try to get a better picture because it looks very different under magnification or even with the naked eye. @josephm99 Thank you I thought it was pretty neat. I was like wow they went all out on his hair for this one Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7107 Posts	Posted 09/23/2020 10:19 pm Your "clipped" 6 is from a die issue and not post mint damage, you'll find them common. Some are an indication or marker for a DDO coin. Check VarietyVista.com and you'll see what I'm talking about....good luck on future finds, have fun Report this Post to the Staff
mnall65 New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 09/23/2020 11:49 pm @Greasy Fingers, Hey thanks for the reply. I am having quite a bit of fun going through some of my old coins, my dad's old coins, and some new stuff I picked up. So far learning quite a bit and finding some interesting stuff.
