hoppyg Valued Member United States 89 Posts	Posted 01/08/2018 6:29 pm I found this cool 1952 D LWC while going through a bag of wheeties and I figured you all would get a kick out of the die chips on the mint mark. The D appears to have flames shooting off the left side. The carbon spots are ashame but I still think its a pretty cool coin. Report this Post to the Staff

There were at least two dies that developed these breaks. Beautiful example ! Report this Post to the Staff
