If anyone has rec's for what error coins have previously sold for, would love to hear them :) Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/08/2021 2:39 pm Just an example of a worn out die that struck your coin. The reason the devices are looking longer towards the rim of the coin is from extreme die wear. The '6' is showing an broken hub. That is why the bottom of the '6' id missing. No premium for this one. Just a Wheat cent to add to the wheat pile. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19519 Posts	Posted 04/08/2021 2:42 pm Agree with the above--a worn die, very worn. Does have a BIE die chip. Not a DDO, certainly not worth grading. Wonder what the reverse looks like? Report this Post to the Staff

IsThisAnything Valued Member United States 440 Posts	Posted 04/08/2021 3:41 pm That's cool. I have yet to find a BIE out in the wild. As for pricing, check out the sold listings on ebay or other online stores. You can't rely on listing prices because people can ask for whatever they want, but the sold listings will tell you what buyers are actually willing to pay. Report this Post to the Staff
Numismatiac Valued Member United States 67 Posts	Posted 04/08/2021 3:59 pm Ah, excuse my ignorance! It's not a DDO, now I know it's called a "BIE penny" - thanks so much, everyone! Report this Post to the Staff
