CaptJeffWorthFL Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 10/27/2022 11:02 pm I found this a while ago. While looking at my wheat cents and organizing them I just had to put it under the scope it being a 1955 ( habit for these ) anyways I noticed that Lincolns head looked like veins were about to pop out. I don't know how I missed this when I first looked at it over a year ago. Common? Rare? Any value? Let me know what you think. Report this Post to the Staff

Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8797 Posts	Posted 10/28/2022 06:42 am Very nice example and in great condition! There were several RIDB's for this year/mm and found one that may be a later stage of yours but not sure. Along with the pic is the link that you can check out the other listings on COC.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/28/2022 12:54 pm This coin was struck a few strikes before this later die example posted by -makecents- after the die continued to crack even more making it a RIDB. (Retained-Interior-Die-Break) What does that mean? With the crack encircles the whole area, then it becomes a retained die break. Just a die event that reaches an extreme. Probably many more examples as the die continues to age. Probably not retired after many more of these examples were struck though. 08 Edited by coop 10/28/2022 12:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
