Little better images. Agree with coop. Just not sure what would cause this. The other question was about the 50's wheat cents. Partially filled 9 and a fat 5 on 52's & 57's what causes this? Common? Variety or error?
Well your 57-D looks to be die chips on the 9 & 5 which is fairly common, but the 55-D may have some acid damage if that's how it really looks like in hand?
Die chips on the '57 D. Cuds are typically associated with the rims--like a chunk of the die breaking off at the edge, allowing the struck coin to have a blob/blister-like appearance at the rim.
Thank all of you for your responses. I try to learn a little every day. Interesting on the acid suggestion. It does look just like that in hand. The other I think is a 1927 but didnt have it close by when posting. Must be how seller is supplying his uncirculated cents in these " unsearched" rolls.
Please crop photos properly before posting and align the coins properly as well,also in focus, before taking picks...thanks. The 1st pic shows die chips and the other might be a Dryer Coin or acid damage, weight might help. John1
