The way I am thinking about it is a piece of the face of the die surrounding the wheat stalk chips/breaks off creating more voided space in the...
Only if the piece broken off creates a void (hole) in the die deeper than the head of wheat void.
The design elements of a coin exists as a void (hole so to speak) on a die. A piece of a die breaks away it creates more void (hole) in a die. But...
Broken Die. The die at the tip of the wheat stalk broke away - leaving a void (hole) in the die that metal from the planchet flows into during the...

The 1960 Lincoln Cent is an example where two Master Dies were utilized - there is a Large Date and Small Date . Even some Lincoln Cent doubled...
Basic conventional thought is (at the time the Lincoln Cent began production) A Master Hub was produced from the reduction process of the galvano....
The same holds true for the reverse. Following is a CAD rendering (drawing) of a 1909-S VDB reverse overlaid on the OP's 1909-P No VDB.[ATTACH]...
All 1909 Lincoln Cents originate from a common Master Die. What CAD program did you use? Following is a CAD rendering (drawing) of the 1909...
It is PMD - part of the "9" has been sheared away moved forming a burr. If it were a die chip the area between the "9" and burr would also be...
Mint Mark placement on your coin matches obverse #4. Keep in mind if relied upon solely an overlay test such as mine can only provide confirmation...
Thanks - now let's look at the reverse. Although the OP's images are hard to see - the "VDB" appears correctly placed. Also added a date overlay...

It may be an anomaly due to lighting but I think I see ghosting which is a sign of extensive due use.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Maybe later - Look at the two 1818 Large Cent drawings paying attention to the diameters and where they intersect the design on the opposite side....
Noy yet but working on a 1828 Quarter - will post it when completed.
