1958-D RD BU 1C baggy chin with head DC

[Shleppodella1]

Looks like a die blowout under Lincoln's chin which caused a "baggy chin" effect and also formed the N/SW DC on top of his hair.

In my opinion, it's probably planchet related. It may have had a bubble or defect in the planchet. It was then struck, and what you see is the result. It looks to drastic to be machine damage related, if it was MD, it probably would have affected more areas of the coin.

It could be a strike through, but that's pushing the limits of logic.

It's not squeeze out maybe from a working die error?

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 “DIEBREAKS AT TIE”.

CONECA now has the coins and the copyright for Jean Cohen’s collection. Sorry to say they have never done anything with it. You need to get permission from them to post images from the book.
She cataloged, illustrated and listed all kinds of errors, some of which we now call varieties, on the Lincoln Cents from 1909 through 1969. Her book the 1969 edition of “THE CLASSIFICATION AND VALUE OF ERRORS ON THE LINCOLN CENT” is a must have for any collector of Lincoln Cent Errors and Varieties.
If you’re an ANA member you can check the book from the ANA Library. At one time CONECA also had this book in their Library, check with the CONECA Librarian, John Miller, to see if it can be checked out.

Starting on page 279 there 25 listings for die chips on the tie for the 1958D cent. Your die chip matches some of the markers for 58D-T24 on page 280.

So that's a chip and not a "hole" ? One photo looks like a chip, other looks like a hole. I figured a "blowout" was a hole.

This website shows a the libraries which might have a copy of the book. I dont know if they would entertain a buy out of the book or, have one for borrow.

Make sure you choose "all libraries" tab.
