I have a Lincoln Wheat Penny question

Hello everyone.

I am snowbound tonight and most likely tomorrow so I pulled out some old Wheaties I needed to put in 2x2's. I am not even close to a moderate novice when it comes to Lincoln pennies but I was wondering if die cracks in wheat pennies were common and if there is any premium for them?
Thanks for your help and education.

I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

    Cracks, chips, blobs etc... are common. Especially in the 50s.

    Probably no premium on them.

    Sometimes those cracks, chips and blobs can start to look like things too...

    Pretty common to find die cracks but that doesn't mean we wouldn't like to see pics. image

    Yeah, the other day I was looking at some of my circulated wheaties and noticed the top of the 5 of a 1953-S was filled and I wondered if it had any extra value. I guess not.
