This is the second I've found, identically the same...the first I tossed back into my "I've already looked at it bag." Having found a second it was worth a post. What is it? The loop of the 9 is also interesting.

It is a die chip. The 1950's wheat cents dies were over used creating a lot of strange coins that catch the attention of the eye, but are just the result of extreme die wear/chipping/cracking. Not real collectables as they are so common during this decade. Especially in VLDS die state coins.

You're right. I've got countless filled 9, 5's, B's...didn't see this in my 40's search, now it's every other coin in the 50's. Thx.

I bought a BU roll of 1954 plain cents and the dies were so worn, they were practically glorified slugs. I put them away years ago.
