What does that mean? lol. I'm am clueless about this stuff. Does that increase value, or is it just a fluke. I don't know if any of these have any value as they are all circulated it appears.

@melevebos, first welcome to CCF. Second, a die chip occurs when a small piece of the die used to strike coin flakes off. This area then gets filled with "extra" metal each time that die is used. A small die chip (like this one) really doesn't increase the value of this coin. Sometimes they occur in interesting or humorous locations, and those can add a little value.

Well for sure we think so.

The main goal of this site is education, so you should hopefully learn more each time you visit, whether you are posting your own questions or just reading through old threads to see what others have asked previously.

Here's a humorous location for a Die Chip to occur. Called the "Pooping Horse" Die Chip. http://goccf.com/t/314105

IIRC, this die chip on "1" is listed in Jean Cohen's "The Classification and Values of Errors in the Lincoln Cent." My copy is loaned out right now. Does anyone have a copy handy to check? I know there are very similar die chips listed in Cohen for 1955-S and 1957-D, because I have run into those at shows.

As noted, it is a die chip and a fairly well known one. It would add a small value to the coin. However, one was just sold as a totally bogus "inverted 1" on ebay for $36. People should do more research before buying something labeled as "one of a kind."

If you have a circulated coin and some clay you could press it on to a common coin and make a copy. Then you would have the reflection of what a die looks like. (except for the rim. Never use clay on a collectible coin)

Ive learned a lot from the community over the last almost 2 years but I really think this coin is a rpm. If you look at some other rpms for coins within a couple years of this run there are some that dont look nearly as plausible as this one snd yet are still considered such. Just my one cents

Just a contact mark on the mintmark. If it were a RPM, then the area in question would be raised, not flattened:

I know exactly what you are talking about coop. Its not the mintmark I'm talking about, its the raised portion coming off the bottom of the 9. To me it looks like either an old mint mark, a mm that jumped once when the guy was punching it into the die and it landed way off course. Everyone has said they are positive its a die gouge. It exactly fits the corner of a D mint mark for that year range, its a touch thinner because it was punched on the bounce and didnt get the force of a full hit. and if you look at the corresponding line that runs through the 9 you'll notice that line is incuse. If that mark I'm talking about was caused by a gouge then the line that continues extending on from it would be raised through the 9 and not incused, which it is. Think about it, if you accidentally punched a mint mark over a date, the punch wpuld.push the metal away and it would fill any negative spaces on the die in turn causing a small incused ridge on the 9.

Wexler has one that is very similar listed as I think 1956D wrpm-57 where the D is stamped over the date.i just think this is super early or maybe they caught it right off the bat
