-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8736 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 10:16 am Cool looking, they almost look like die chips. You may want to check out 013 and 016, can't tell because of the angled pic you have though. Take a look. http://www.varietyvista.com/02a%20L...201957D.htm) There are a few on cc that look similar too, if you are interested. -makecents- Edited by -makecents- 07/31/2021 3:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 08/01/2021 03:41 am 1957 D had a lot of dies chipping around the date, and although I've never seen this one I'd go with die chips. There is a somewhat similar oddity with one die that looks like icicles hanging off the mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff
