    Looks to be as the number 9 was positioned like a 6 (inverted) and bumped the die. Long stretch of the imagination.

    I posted it on one of the coin forums on fb and the list went on and on. A few people mentioned a possible inverted number. Than after a while a few more mentioned the gouges. But it I still always helpfull for more opinions. Thinking about sending it to wexler but I don't want to waste my money!

    It is not an inverted number.... could well be a die gouge or a die chip....Cheers, RickO

    An unimportant minor variety at best. Don't waste good money by having it "authenticated, etc."

    Thought I would give an update guys. Another 1957 D has surfaced exact match with mine. A overlay was done and it is a match. So I guess the other mans coin was a pair from the same die. (Disclaimer) I do not find This to be anything more then suggested. But a interesting piece nuntheless.

    I like the coin. Someone should do an overlay with the inverted "9" I cannot recall if the mint was stamping the "195" or just the "19" into the dies at this time.

    The date was in the hub, not punched into the die, so this has nothing to do with that. It looks like it could be a die gouge of some sort. Same with the spike on top of the D. As to how it happened, I'll invoke the Fivaz defense, "I don't know I wasn't there at the time." A red, uncirculated coin might provide more clues upon examination.

    I didn't think the entire date was in the hub during this period but now I think you are correct as that's the way the Mint Lab proved that the 1959 Wheat reverse cent was bogus.

    The seventh one down... the 1951-D looks to be a RPM.

    It is. A accidental upload of another coin! I will edit it out of there
