I'd say 1956 and agree with Scubas. Overall dimensions fit a 6 better. Nice 3!

Third, and final, coin from the same die. I think this one was the last struck as it is pretty close to the first one but seems just a little more defined. The story here is that I bought all three of these, in separate auctions, from the same seller. I had no idea they were all from the same die until just now, as I have been looking at them one at a time. First time I've been able to pick up a multi-coin progression for a die cap strike and pretty happy to discover that's what I ended up with. 195X Lincoln Wheat cent mint error - struck through die cap coin 3   |

Wow! That progression is incredible! I'd be inclined to say 50 as well.

Thanks folks! Yeah, I was certainly surprised tonight to find the progression, but also surprised that I got each of these for twenty bucks and free shipping. That's fairly low for wheats struck through die cap, but maybe it was because the date was unknown and there isn't any funky brockage or whatnot going on.

I think last one is 1950 and seem to give the clue for the first also. Like I say nice ones now.

Very cool! Never seen a die progression with struck through die caps before. Certainly impressive!

The 1950 has a bit higher '0'. (Level with the top of the '5')  But still close. 1958 looks too high:  Edited by coop
