Better images would help. It might be a Retained Interior Die Break.
Errers and Varietys.

-John1- Sorry about that-here you go!  Just noticed crack at top of coin too-thanks -makecents- for making me aware of that area. Was too drawn to the other area. (done under different lighting):  Edited by EML Coin Collector

Looks like an interior die break showing a large die chip and die crack.

Yep sure looks like a RIDB, and in a known area for these to form.

Amazes me that this got past Quality Control at the Mint!

The volume of coins and the speed that they are minted..makes that really quite difficult.
Eventually they do catch damaged dies and retire them.

It is not an RIDB guys, it's an earlier stage of the listed IDB that I stated above.

If I'm not mistaken weren't the pennies from that time hand stamped mint-wise? Surely someone stamping the D on there would have seen this defect?

They develop with how much the die is used. The mid 50s were great years for die cracks, chips, breaks, and other die wear issues. They ran them till they died. |
