Skippy72 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 11/26/2018 02:28 am Hello all. I'm having trouble locating any listing regarding this 1951 Wheat penny I found in my coolection. I passed it over a few times thinking it was a hair until lastnight when I attempted to wipe it off. It turned out to be a crack that runs at angles from the rim across Liberty stopping at Lincoln. It runs under the Die Chip between BE and the filled in lower half of the E in Liberty. Any thoughts on this coin? Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 11/27/2018 09:47 am That's quite a nice find. It is a "BIE" die break that is listed as "multiple" since it occurs between more than one of the letters in LIBERTY. The catalog number is LDB345678-1951-001 and you can check on cuds-on-coins.com for which stage of the die it is in but looks like a nice late stage like D or E. http://cuds-on-coins.com/ii-f-multi...f-die-break/ Report this Post to the Staff
