1957 D Wheat Cent Rim Error

I need some help identifying what type of error this is.

I want to say I have seen examples of this before on here and other sources, but I cant seem to remember what it is exactly. It looks to be parts of Lincoln's jacket underneath the initial bust. If someone could help, that'd be appreciated!

My first thought was die clash possibly.

 

Interesting. It would be a clash from something from the obverse.. Not a clash.

 

Looks like a bunch of little die cracks in pre-cud class.

 

Those are die gouges , possible from feeder fingers.
Struck with a mid to late stage die.

 

looks like a few gouges and a few laminations to me.

 

No idea, but interesting, and I will be watching for similar things in the future.

 

Very interesting! I've not seen this before, thanks for letting us know about it!

 

It is usually attributed to die deterioration.

Maybe a little ghosting, or die transfer?

 

there's a little somethin something on the reverse around 7 o'clock also.

 

Seems to just be a small lamination, so they may just be laminations on the front as well. I didn't think so at first, but it very well may be that

 

I can't imagine it being anything else really. the one just before 6 oclock on the obverse, of those two the one on the right has the appearance of a lamination in my opinion, I'd say they all are small lams, And if not, I can't really peg them as anything else it could be.

I don't have heritage in order to expand pictures but found this

maybe it's similar? Maybe not at all though... I dunno, small laminations or some die dents from something?

 

Keep it, seal it, show it. I would, it's a interesting anomaly. Thanks for sharing it.

 

At first, I thought a worn die, but enlarging it, I haven't a clue, so maybe it is some type of lamination anomaly.

 

Maybe the result of many dropped elements. The one image surely is a U from the reverse.

 

Can you explain die transfer to me. Can I ask about terms like ghosting later ?

 

I agree that it’s interesting.

 

@furryfrog02 Cracks or cud Off center coin ?

 

What I was referring to for the most part is PIDT (progressive indirect die transfer). Pidt is also referred to as ghosting. It is when an image from one side of the coin is seen on the other side. PIDT is the result of extreme die wear, it is unlike most other forms of die transfer.
