<p>[QUOTE=&quot;longnine009, post: 3612650, member: 1886&quot;]Die failure on coins from the 50&#039;s&nbsp; is pretty common. I believe what you have is &quot;a piece out of the die.&quot; Metal literally broke off inside the die cavity of Lincoln&#039;s head. This shows up as raised metal on Lincoln&#039;s head. The problem is the metal has to come from the same planchette. So this is robbing Peter to pay Paul. Which means there should be diminishment on something near the raised metal and/or in areas that correspond to Lincoln&#039;s head on a reverse--the T &amp;E in UNITED.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
