Phathead42 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/09/2022 5:41 pm I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what it is I've come across on 1956D, I know that only P and D were minted that year but if you look at the 5 in photo it looks to me as if the 5 was punched over an S in the upper left portion. I've stared at it too much already debating on what it actually is so any suggestions on what it could be is much appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95755 Posts	Posted 03/09/2022 6:44 pm looks like a chip to me on the 5 between the top cross bar and the loop, but a circulation hit at the top left corner of the 5 Collecting since 1972.

The die was normal, but die events with of aging, cracking events, and the and circulation damage altered this coin. A lot of the 1950's Wheat cent dies were way over used.
