    1952 Wheat error?

    I had just found a 1952 Wheat Lincoln Cent and on the reverse on the left ear of wheat there seems to be a oval glob of copper fill. I will post Pictures soon have to get my digital camera. (there are no cracks coming from the edge, its just at the top of the ear of wheat). I searched the Internet but I can't seem to find anything that looks similar.

    There are many cases of die chips on the wheat ears. This holds true for just about any date.

          Looks like a die chip as Bob suggested. I wouldn't be shocked if there wasn't a crack or two on the top or bottom. May need a scope to see them though. Thanks for posting - chips like this are always fun to find!

                At the very least, use your camara's MACRO setting (or even better yet... SUPER macro if it has one) and find a way to stabilize the camara. (Tripod is best, of course... but you can get creative.)
