CRHunting Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 01/30/2023 3:01 pm Hello Everyone!, Recently I found this 1957 D Wheat cent. It has a very common die clash under the chin which is a clashing of the T from the word Cent on the reverse. The part that I can't figure out is the raised anomaly under Lincoln's bust. The anomaly isn't listed on Mad Die Clashes which has me leaning toward a die gouge but it's unlike most die gouges I've seen before. The only die gouges I've run into that are this thick are usually caused by Feeder Finger Damage but that occurs on the reverse of wheat cents. It could be a clash of the B from pluribus but I can't make out enough to be sure. I took pictures from a few different angles. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

CRHunting Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 01/30/2023 3:33 pm Thanks for linking to your coin! It definitely looks like the same die event since the mint marks also have the same positioning. It's interesting that Coop suggested Feeder Finger Damage. I didn't expect to see that on the obverse of wheats. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 98963 Posts	Posted 01/30/2023 6:23 pm under the chin is a nice clash - of the 'N'? A possible gouge under the bust, would be my best guess. Collecting since 1972.
