Description: This rare error 1955 Lincoln Wheat Small Cent is a must-have for any coin collector. The unique obverse Railroad Rim Error makes this piece stand out from the rest, adding to its value and desirability. Minted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this coin features a mint error on the rim making it a true gem in any collection. It also features lamination cracks on the reverse - making this a multi-error valuable cent!Error Information: A partial collar error is one in which the planchet is only partially confined by the collar. The lower half of the edge shows contact with the working face of the collar while the upper half of the edge is smooth, beveled, or both. This error is commonly called the “railroad rim” even though it is the edge, not the rim, that is affected because it looks like a railroad car wheel. This coin exhibits a split-level edge where the obverse (hammer die strike) has expanded larger than the reverse (anvil die strike). This occurs when the collar jams on the shaft of the anvil die at a position where only part of the planchet is contained in the collar. Lamination crackThese planchets have pieces of metal “peeling” from them. The lamination can be completely missing or retained on the planchet. The larger the lamination, the greater the rarity.
