We need a clearer picture of the date and mint mark, but from what I can see with the image posted, it looks like you have a broken post error. Like a die chip, the post on a die will break off and leave that area filled in on a coin. Sometimes these are referred to as filled date errors. Report this Post to the Staff

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 02/18/2017 11:23 am Not worth sending to a third party grading service. Coins like this usually don't carry much value over face, but they do sometimes sell at online auctions for a dollar or two. EDIT: This page shows some more examples and teaches a little about die cracks and chips. http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/cuds.html Edited by cwb 02/18/2017 11:26 am Report this Post to the Staff

Just the sign of a worn out die, no don't send in for grading, mailing expense costs more than you'd get trying to sell it anywhere. If grading costs $100(?) or so... The "filled date" coins were quite common in late 50's, were trying to get most out of a die before having to replace it, talk had been about changing the design around then, wanted to use up all the master sets.
