Another weird Lincoln.

Anyone know what happened to his tie?

A Die Chip would be my first guess.

 

Probably a die chip

 

Well placed Die Chip.

 

@BBBeth
IDB - Internal Die Break. A interesting one.
Thanks for sharing.

Suggestion - In your future threads please try to show a full picture of both sides of the coin you are showing. That way we can look for other clues to help in attribution.

Thanks

 

Thanks for the feedback. Will do.

 

I have a 1958D with a similar die chip. But, @paddyman98, I only have the close up and not the entire coin in my photo file.

 

I will put it in a flip. Seems like the 50s are full of errors.

 

Now I'm going to have to peek at my 58 D Lincolns. I have a couple uncirculated rolls, and I'm curious.

 

The ‘50s were notorious for running die sets well past their prime. While still errors, regular wear-and-tear errors are so common that they are a few steps down from some others.

 

With over 420 million produced, there is bound to be worn dies that should have been taken out of service, but weren't.
That is a fun IDB and a keeper, in my book
