<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coop, post: 983922, member: 17656&quot;]I feel they are caused by a die clash chiping away part of the die and it continues to chip away after continued use. These chips usually stop when they area the outside if a device. But looking at an overlay of a wheat cent you can see where the wheat lines pass over the area in question.</p><p><a href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/Wheat_Overlay_obverse_1911.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/Wheat_Overlay_obverse_1911.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/Wheat_Overlay_obverse_1911.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/Wheat_Overlay_reverse_1911.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/Wheat_Overlay_reverse_1911.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/Wheat_Overlay_reverse_1911.jpg</a></p><p>The dies go through clashes many times. It just starts the problem and it continues. another factor is that the cents from the 1950&#039;s coins were over used and continued to make poor quality coins. The dies just keep wearing and they kept using them.</p><p><a href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1955P-POOR_MANS_DD.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1955P-POOR_MANS_DD.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1955P-POOR_MANS_DD.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/V_V_L_D_S_GLORIFIED_SLUG.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/V_V_L_D_S_GLORIFIED_SLUG.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/V_V_L_D_S_GLORIFIED_SLUG.jpg</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
