As I was looking over some of my stash of LWC I had a couple questions about this 1951D example.

On the obverse:

The damage to the 5 just looks like a hit to me. My other self was wondering if the hit would have moved enough metal or if maybe there was already a die chip there to begin with. I guess neither self will ever know.

Is the D just damaged or maybe an RPM with damage?

On the reverse:

Has the left wheat stalk suffered some kind of lamination?

Thanks!

I see a Die Chip on the 5 of the date, PMD on the date, mint mark, and a possible Interior Die Break on the left wheat stalk, and a Die Chip on the right wheat stalk.

Also, nice Cracked Skull.

Yes, a classic Wheat cent with classic issues--die chip in the 5, possible lamination event on one wheat stalk, and a die crack with associated die chip on the other wheat stalk. Too, there looks to be a circulation-softened die crack running east/west through Abe's head. Love wheat cents from the 1950s.
