Believe me, there are many known errors like that. It's a die chip. Quite common during that time because they overused the dies. -
Pretty common in the 1950s and 1960s. I have seen hundreds, if not thousands of these. A die chip. Too common to be worth anything.Gary Kozera

The die chip is an obvious catch. I am more interested in whats going on with the 1 in the date.Comment

In the 1969 edition of “THE CLASSIFICATION AND VALUE OF ERRORS ON THE LINCOLN CENT” by Jean Cohen there are listings for what she called “R Dated”, small die chip or die crack off the top of the 1 in the date.
Your 1957D cent could be the 57D-R4 listed on page 115. If it is, other markers would be “Lower B in LIBERTY filled” and a “Die Chip on the Left Wheat”. Always post full images of the Obverse and Reverse, which in this case would confirm the Cohen listing.Last edited by JC Stevens; 12-26-2022, 12:18 PM.Comment

The area around the "1" could also be either a small lamination or die crack.Comment

Understand, minor errors like that are not going to demand much value over face.Comment

CONECA (pronounced: CŌ´NECA) is a national numismatic organization devoted to the education of error and variety coin collectors. CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Repunched mintmarks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers—just to name a few. In addition to its website, CONECA publishes an educational journal, The Errorscope, which is printed and mailed to members bimonthly. CONECA offers a lending library, examination, listing and attribution services; it holds annual meetings at major conventions (referred to as Errorama) around the country.
CONECA was formed through a merger of CONE and NECA in early 1983. To learn more about the fascinating HISTORY OF THE ERROR HOBBY and THE HISTORY OF CONECA, we encourage you to visit us our main site Here
