Here is one from pocket change. It's a details coin, which makes it hard for someone with aging eyes to fully make out the coin. There are two IDB's that don't match anything on Cuds on Coins. Then we have the forehead and hair, I lean towards a Retained IDB, but it doesn't match any of them either. What do you think?
The crack on th head looks like it could be a lamination. I'm not familiar with the term "retained interior die break." It seems confusing. "Piece out of the die" always made more sense to me. Diseased stalk was one of the terms used for breaks on wheat stalks.
The B in LIBERTY is a die crack that filled in the bottom portion of the B. The line in the hair appears to be a lamination.
Definition: A retained interior die break occurs when a flake detaches from the die face but, instead of falling off, it sinks into the surrounding metal. Attached is a photo of a similar RIDB, this one is also on a 57D Lincoln. The above is RIDB-1c-1957D-13 https://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-cent-retained-interior-die-break-1909-1958/ An idb is not a die crack, it is a chunk of metal that fell from the die face causing a void or raised blob of metal that looks like a featureless blob. Same as a filled MM.
Yeah, looks like a RIDB to me but I'm no expert. Maybe @paddyman98 knows about this? Is this a different coin?
I was looking thru the LIB's area. and noticed some of your amazing photos, and examples. I wish I could take photos like that.
In case you're interested, just in case. I found your here....Lincoln Cent Cuds; 1950 – 1959 : Cuds on Coins
I think that Dyno was referring to the 57D, The 55S has 3 attributions. it is also listed as IDB-1c-1955S-01 and RIDB-1c-1955S-02.
