coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/25/2021 9:00 pm They are die chips. Part of the fields on that area of the digits, has broken off of the die. The dies were over used to squeeze every cent they could make with these dies. So the 1950's wheat cents with heavy die wear is common to find. Report this Post to the Staff

As you may know, these show up pretty often over on the left side of the obv too in the letters of the word LIBERTY.

Lewy New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 08/25/2021 9:49 pm Thanks. I will watch the LIBERTY closer for more of these. I just like them and my 9 year old daughter thinks they are really cool so keepers for us. Report this Post to the Staff
