Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 07/02/2014 7:58 pm A combo of die cracks, chips and some PMD hit marks. Die Deterioration. Very common on a lot of the 50's cents. If not pulled, this die would eventually lead to breaks. Prone to areas of the head. Report this Post to the Staff

7TF Pillar of the Community 743 Posts	Posted 07/02/2014 8:10 pm VLDS = Very Late Die State. This is definitely a keeper. Those cracks in the head are pretty cool. The other cracks and die chips or breaks in the date just add to the coolness. Kris Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/02/2014 9:03 pm There were many examples of VLDS in the 1950's wheat cents. They were over used and they show a lot of strange things. But being common reduces the desirability for for these. Report this Post to the Staff
