marie123 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 10/20/2023 1:09 pm I found this 1955D Wheat penny in my Uncle's coin collection. This looks a lot different than the others with the deep crack that runs near the rim. What do you think about it? I don't even know what term to look this up as. Thank you in advance!
