Hello to all , I have come across this 1956-D Lincoln wheatie with what appears to be a clashed die on the obverse under the date ? Any thoughts on what it is and any value on it would be fantastic !
That's not a clash. It has nothing to do at all with a die clash. That's a planchet issue called a Lamination. It's a common issue on wheat cents. Here is some information https://www.error-ref.com/lamination-error-loss-before-strke/ It's a small Lamination but nothing to bring a huge premium. And it is not a mule neither.
Very nice collection you have there ! I could swear those are letters on my coin though, just looks that way I guess.
Yes to what Paddy said, it’s a small lamination. If you are seeing letters it’s just your imagination. And definitely not a mule cent.
