ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19164 Posts	Posted 07/08/2022 3:49 pm A nice complex of die cracks, forming the conditions for a retained interior die break. A nice aspect of the cracked skull features of some wheat cents--especially the '55. Signature die chip on the left wheat stalk (reverse) too. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/08/2022 5:05 pm I'd just call it a die break. The crack is usually seen all around on a RIDB. Note the die crack line around the outside edge of the break? Report this Post to the Staff
