coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/10/2022 3:28 pm Some die wear in the direction of the closest rims. They were also bad that year with a lot of die wear: A lot of the 1950's wheat cents are showing extreme die wear as they were used past normal retirement to squeeze several more cents out of the dies.
