Hi guys, I have this 1956 Lincoln Wheat penny and would like to know what the piece of metal is considered, located at Lincoln's Bow tie on the Obverse (See close up Photo). Is this a die chip or a die break error? Thanks very much.
Interesting place for a die chip. The mid to late 50's and early 60's coins had lots die chips on them. Which I think had more to do with some of the dies being to brittle and prone to breakage during this time period.
