    It's die chips, possibly several.
    A chip in a die will show as raised
    metal on the surface of a coin.
    Die chips are quite common on Lincoln Cents in the 1950s and early to mid 1960s.
    They usually add little value, most times none, but occasionally the placement or shape of the crack will cause someone with a good imagination and/or a large stack of the coins to market them successfully.

    Possible die chip on the "9".
    PMD on the "5".
    Toss it in the wishing well at the mall.

    It’s a die chip... super common in the 50’s and rarely carries a premium. Sometimes “BIE” chips will carry a small premium.
