It occurs in many other date and mintmark combinations, especially in the late 1950's; they're pretty common. In fact I just received about 50 of these in a lot of errors I purchased and just threw them into my wheat jar. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/28/2014 11:55 am The die was chipping away and this is progressive. Most often we see this on the 1950's era coins. The dies were over used past normal retirement and the coins show the strangest events that most other years did have happen. Report this Post to the Staff
