It looks to me like between the letter "B" & "E" in the word "LIBERTY" there is debris?. On the reverse, there is a "wheat bug"? I guess that's what they call it?. Is this a keeper? Some insight to this would be great. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Die chips that progress and change shape when the dies were continued to be used. Another product of the cents from the 1950's wheat cents when they over used the dies. Report this Post to the Staff
