jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1260 Posts	Posted 10/25/2022 10:50 pm Looking through some of my wheat cents and came across this nice 1956 D. Look at the veins running through the head. They are in several places across the top of Mr. Lincoln. They sure don't look like circulation damage or scratches. Think I'll put this one in a 2 X 2. Report this Post to the Staff

The die used for the strike had cracked and a small area of metal had fallen out. When the coin was struck, the metal of the planchet was pushed into the gap. That's why the die chip stands above the surrounding metal. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1260 Posts	Posted 10/26/2022 11:29 am When looking at the head with a 20 X eye lope, I can see a series of small "vein" like raised areas throughout head. Perhaps the crack splintered. Thanks again for your advice.. Report this Post to the Staff
