Hanlins Coins New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 11/24/2011 9:56 pm That extra copper is caused by a clogged die. Clogged dies on lincoln wheats are very common. They are still pretty cool, but I don't think there is much of a premium on them, if any. Report this Post to the Staff

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 11/25/2011 06:57 am I agree with John1. A clogged die would give the appearance of less copper. What you have is a die chip. A piece of the die broke off inside the 5 letting the metal flow up inside the numeral. This is very common on wheat cents and adds no extra value. Report this Post to the Staff
