Looks like a Die Chip. Common on Cents minted in the 1950's and 1960's

 

Die chip for sure. They were collected at one time but there is almost no interest now and little to no extra value.

 

Nothing to add to the above two posts.

 

As a LWC collector, I would probably skip over this one in a search for one I would want for my collection.

 

I have four pages of coin acronyms and LCW is not on the list. Please explain LCW so I can add it to my list. Thanks.

LWC stands for Lincoln Wheat Penny... errrm Cent.

 

For a while, these were referred in the Cherrypicker's Guide as being a misplaced D in the date because of its shape. But that was on a Denver minted coin. I think it's since been debunked as the RPM.

 

I'd keep it. You never know when the pendulum might swing back to favor die chips once again.

 

Thanks for the astute input, the coin belongs to a friend and I will pass along the accumulated knowledge.

 

Thank you...dc
