Hi Marie - looks like a die crack adjacent the wheat stalk and a die chip on it.

 

That's awesome, these coins are in ok shape for their years and perfect for my collection. Thanks!!

 

Yes, I agree. The 1955 appears to have a die crack.

The 1956 I'd call a die chip on the wheat stalk. These are actually quite common in that location.

I would not call it a cud - a cud specifically refers to a die break at the rim.

 

You are Correct, I just found a 1955 wheat penny with two die chips in the wheat

 

The 50's are notorious for overworked dies. Lots of chips, cracks, breaks and washout. You could be labeling for days if you have a lot of 50's LWCs to look through.

 

Good find

 

Yeah baby. Crack and chip. The chip is common

 

Not a cud. You do have a die crack and a die chip, both are common. This is a Cud, a large one but it's a Cud.
