Have a 1953 P Penny with two possible die cracks/breaks, one on each stalk. One is north on the left stalk; the other is south
on the right, stretching to the rim. Kinda cool. Any thoughts?

    Die chips, cuds, and what looks like the beginning stages of laminations?

    Old wheats hold many opportunities.
