I found this while roll hunting and I have never seen another one like it. I've tried searching the forums here and the Internet in general and I have found no information whatsoever anywhere. I'm really intrigued by this. Has anyone else seen this before?  |

Die chip?
That'd be my best guess.

Hello: I actually have a coin with the same attribute. In fact, I was looking online to find any information about this and ran into this site listing die chip Cuds, but this particular one was not listed. Thoughts? http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-ce...s-1950-1958/ I wonder if there may be others out there with the same error.  |

It looks like it may also be a die chip on the 1. It seems small chips like that are fairly common on '50s cents, especially around the date/MM and LIBERTY. Cuds on Coins focuses on Cuds, or die breaks on the edge, not small interior die chips. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Would this be considered a collectable?

As a Wheat cent. But no premium for the die chips. Did you check LIBERTY? There maybe some there as well. |

I have one too. They say it's a die-chip, eh? Mine has the same "exact looking barb on top of the 1. It's almost too uncannily perfect to be a random thing, like yours. I'd like to hear some history on this "die-chip". Apparently, there were enough of them made before the stamp was re-made to actually hear about them, but how many? This was the last year wheat pennies were made, so there might not be too many. The minters could have noticed the "die-chip" and decided to just keep stamping them since they were about to be dis-continued anyway. Maybe. Or, they could be extremely rare. Remember, the kid with the 1943 copper penny who was told by all the experts that his coin was a fake. Well, they were all wrong, and the coin turned out to be worth a ton of cash. Then there was the 1.5 million dollar Wheat penny that sold on e-Bay for $9000. We need to hear some real history on this "backwards one" 1958-D Wheat penny" before deciding it's true worth. Anybody out there got the real truth about these?  |

From CudsOnCoins.com http://cuds-on-coins.com/die-chips/"Die Chips Definition: A small piece (less than 4 square millimeters) that falls out of the die face and has no direct connection to the design rim. The missing piece leaves a void in the die face into which coin metal flows. As a result, the coin shows a featureless lump in the affected area. A die chip can be connected to a die crack or it can be freestanding. Die chips frequently develop within narrow interstices in the design, such as the gap between the letters of LIBERTY. Hence the so-called "BIE" errors. |

MikeInKy I have had this same coin for over 40 years, never seen another one. Thanks for posting it. Sure it's a chipped die.  |

 They may all be from different dies? 1st and last look close on mint mark locations. Chip direction are going the same way. (?) |
