These can occur anywhere on a coin, but on wheats cents typically on the reverse they are between the wheat and the rim. But the other common place to find them is on the obverse at the bottom of the bust. Here is an example I just pulled out of a roll of mostly cull 1943-P coins. It is an unlisted pre Cud at this point. 1943 Lincoln Wheat cent die event - obverse pre Cud Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6182 Posts	Posted 08/30/2021 01:12 am Steel is just harder than copper to hammer away on. And I probably have at least 15-20 more unlisted ones here needing attention. Report this Post to the Staff

It's amazing that this part of the hammer die was still in place when your coin was struck. I was under the impression that since the obverse was the hammer die and pulled away from the anvil (reverse) die broken pieces of the die would fall out. Something about the break must have "locked" that piece in place. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
