Got this 1956 D cent I don't know what type of die error that is? Look closely on the adverse you can see the number 5 in the groove above the five to me it looks like there's the start of another head but looks like a forehead down to eye start of a nose and mouth.reverse a grease error maybe on the right side wheats missing.doubling on the D mint mark. As always needing you guys' expert opinions I hope this one's cool enough for you guys. And of course if you got a price on this one

It was cut from damaged stock material. Note the weight is slightly less than normal. (3.11 gms normal) Also not the affected areas? These will be weaker devices as there is less metal on those areas. The The metal can't strike up if there is not metal there. So your planchet was thin because of the damage to the stock metal sent down the line: Short metal Blank/Planchet/Strike. Just like a flat tire is only flat on the bottom because there is not air enough in the tire to be round. Same for the striking of coins. If there is not enough metal, your going to have an affected coin with a lower weight. Cause and affect. Knowing what it is, helps you learn more.

CoopHome: why are some coins under weight, even when they look completely round?

Also do you see the number five in there and what would that be from and does it look like it's the start of another head to you I don't think the picture really shows it that good but if you're in front of it I mean you really can see it everybody has showed it to agree that it look like the start of another head and they also can see the five it looks not like a crack it looks like a perfect five

They are indivual happenings. There will be no listings for these are they are "True Mint Errors." This is not a die event, but what you would expect on a mint error, they are just one offs. Not sure for the premium, but others will be able to give you a better idea.

The date area is not affected. The mark on the date is incuse, then it is coin damage from contact from other coins in circulation. The size of the devices there look normal from the image. But during the 1950's wheat cents there were a lot of worn die issues that are just die events. (Very common to see) But Cuds on coins will be the only die event that gets a lot of attention. "Why?" Because an Die Cud (on the outside edge of the die/coin) is a life ending retirement for the die. So when the machine is shut down, then you will only find a few of these. While other die events will have 1oo's of thousands of these die events. Hope this helps. (we are just scratching the surface on this gold mine so far)

Sharper close-ups would help. Can't see this "5".
