coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/10/2015 11:18 am It is a die chip. Die chips were common on the 50's wheat cents as they overused the dies past normal retirement. You can find all kinds of things that are common because of die wear during these years. Cracks/chips/breaks/excessive die wear and on and on. Report this Post to the Staff
