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.

Thanks Errers and Varietys and ijn1944 for your insights.

I'm using this trip through my extra stash of Lincoln cents to see if I can find anything different from my first trip through to sort things by date and MM and look for obvious outliers.

There are lots of different features to look for and my knowledge of the series and it's quirks needs alot of work. I find many of the features to look for are quite subtle, at least for me, and I'm going to just have to keep looking and asking until I get a little better. The obvious stuff is seldom what you encounter.

I'm not so much trying to learn so that I can be a better buyer as I am to be more knowledgeable about what I already have. I sure appreciate being able to dip into the wealth of expertise here on my journey.
