    1960 D Small Date with a couple of very minor anomalies

    Additional Information
    Date: 1960
    Just browsing through my minor hoard of Lincolns... I came upon this today. Minor rotation of the Reverse Die, about 15 degrees, and a "blip" on the O in One. Die Chip? It may not have any value to anyone else, but I'm having fun.

    It does appear to be a small die crack and chip on the O of ONE. 1960D small dates are one of the most prevalent die crack/chip coins in the entire Lincoln cent series. You ae guaranteed to find plenty of things like this. You are correct also that there is not any monetary value for coins like this with minor chips.

    I think it looks more like displaced metal from a hit on the O. You can see the gouge to the south of it.
