I'm not normally impressed with die chips, but thought I'd share this one. Looks like Lincoln's Memorial is in shambles.

Here's a 1960 with about (but smaller) the same placement on the chip.

The right eave is a very common spot for die failure in all the Lincoln memorial cents before the redesign of 1969. The 1960 is a typical example. The 1966 is a bit excessive. I would think the 1966 die shown didn't last much longer before being retired.
