Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/23/2020 6:56 pm This is called a die chip - fairly common on mid-1950's wheat cents. Generally does add to the value. to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog 10/23/2020 6:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/23/2020 7:04 pm I refer to these as a die event. The die is breaking down because of age and the continued use of the 1950'W wheat cents makes more of these to be found during that decade. Report this Post to the Staff
silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3733 Posts	Posted 10/23/2020 7:27 pm broken die post. The piece on the striking die, that puts, the hole in the top of the 9, broke off, so it allows metal to flow in.. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19159 Posts	Posted 10/23/2020 8:03 pm Very nice die chip--broken post in this instance. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/23/2020 9:05 pm Not a broken post, just a chip. Why not a broken post? Because on all the Lincoln cents, there are no closed 9 or 6's on this series. So it is not a closed device, so it is not broken post, as the posts is are used on the closed devices.
