So, I found quite a few small errors on my 1955 s pennies, several with multiple errors on same coin. Wanted to see if these are common or if I just got a good batch...

Sorry so many pics, I tried to get one of each unique error

Nice run of '55-S die carnage! This is fairly common on Wheat cents from the 50's due to the mints getting every last strike and then some out of each die.

Quite common for the date and indeed many of the '50s cents. Keep looking!

When you notice certain similar looking errors you may be seeing a progression of the deterioration of the die wearing out and breaking down. Sometimes like in this pix, you can find one such progression in the same OBW roll:

I see the marker for 1955-S RPM-002. But when so many coins are listed, it makes it confusing which one it is:

Best to use just one coin per thread.

The "W" shaped die crack on the obverse is the die marker for a reverse Retained Cud, which is shown in the next photo. It is Retained Cud: RCD-1C-1955S-05R in probably stage D. I wouldn't pitch that one for sure.
