Hey everyone, I was on the forum earlier and I got the itch to do some coin roll hunting just started about 5 mins ago and came across this one, what you think?  Close up of the Liberty  I saw it with the naked eye before to put the loop to it! |

Some call it die deteriation other call it plating movement. But with way it is still a normal coin. Keep looking.

I have half a mint box of 2010-D Shield Cents that have the same problem. The edge shows where the die was deteriorating and cause a raised "rim" inside the real rim, just as high as the letters. They're uncirculated and bright red. I wonder if I could sell them on ebay as "Deteriorating Die Damage" coins. I may put one up at 99 cents with free shipping and see if anyone bites. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

I think these type are called BIE cents. There was a website for just these types. Google BIE cents.

I have found a few of these, and they seem to be common and not worth much, but still a fun find.  Edited by Tunnioc

BIE's are die chips. This is just plating movement in that area. big difference.  Bie's are usually on the 1950's coins. Why? Because of overuse of the die pass the normal retirement age, the dies suffered Very Late Die States these years. They squeezed every cent out of the dies they could. |
