    Morning everyone. I just came across this beauty and given the history of die chips during the 50's, thought placement makes it look like this and need the experts help. The T in Trust has me really confused though. Is it lamination or damage from pocket change?
    Thanks for any help

    Those are called interior die breaks lr IDB's. These are quite common on lincoln cents.

    I missed the T in trust. That looks like a peeling lamination.

    The reason there are Die Chips is because the die became worn (overused).. So the effect on the date is considered DDD - Die Deterioration doubling :yack:
