1940 Wheat Penny error

I was looking through a bag of wheat pennies and this coin looked interesting. The date has what appears to be a slanted "1" between the 9 and 4. What is this? PMD?

It looks like a Die chip or Die break in between the date

here are example of the two different types I have

die chip


die break - aka BIE

 

I looked up "penny die chip in date" on Google Images and the sixth image was your 1950-D penny you posted here and on coincommunity.com. I thought that was funny

 

I am new here but posted a lot images of ddo, ddr and rpm on other forums

I did not find that one I bought that from ebay from a user on Lincoln Cent Resource.. It was so big and cool...

 

Looks like just damage to me.

 

I have to agree with Larry.

We need a netter picture (close up) of the date

 

My camera can't go any more close up than that without the picture being fuzzy.

 

Then, my gut is PMD

 

1940-D die crack on reverse? I bought 15$ in rolls from Colombia bank today, any thoughts?

 

The OP's first photo is damage between the date.
Not a die chip or any error.

 

I have the same die crack on reverse. But mine is between the words cent and united states. Planchet must have been rotated just a little from yours. Your the first person I've seen that has talked about this error. I can't find any info on this 1940 d penny error.

 

It looks like a chip to me between the 9 and 4. Similar to a BIE in LIBERTY where the space in between the letters gives way some.

 

Don't want to disagree with Fred, but it does look like a die chip to me...
