Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 05/06/2023 3:31 pm @shel, I think you are talking about the extra metal in the number 5 in the date and the S mintmark. If so, these are called die chips and are quite common on cents in the 1950s.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95088 Posts	Posted 05/06/2023 4:08 pm yes, they are called die chips as stated above. and the chip on the 5 of this year is fairly common. Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/07/2023 1:34 pm When you see this towards the direction of the closest rim, that is die wear on the die. Each coin struck alters the planchets into the shapes the dies demand. When the die wears, the weakened areas will be towards the closest rim directions. 54% of the coins struck by dies, will show this extreme die wear. So looking at them are the common examples of die wear. Report this Post to the Staff
