Hey just came across this coin. I understand the "BIE" of a coin is a die break? Well this coin seems to be a BIE with a grease Cud maybe?
Is it possible that the coin has both?
Also the 6 in the date may have a grease Cud hanging/attached on it. I don't think it is PMD to that part of the 6.
Variety has a picture that is similar but Variety is talking about DDO in the date.

Yes, a nice BIE and a die chip on the date. ' Cuds', by numismatic definition, are associated with rims.

Cool, and thanks for the input.
I think it has that cleaned look though.

Nice BIE cent!

Usually 'Grease' and ' Cud' are not used together to describe a feature on a coin.

on the 6 - is a 'Die' chip
a 'Grease' filled die will present as reduced or missing parts of a design element.
a ' Cud' will be a raised feature up against and involving the rim of a coin and is normall higher than the rim itself.

Nice BIE but I think the 6 took a hit and you are seeing metal movement.

I thought the same thing. So the following images show different angles of the 6. I honestly wonder if that much metal would squeeze from that spot...
