CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2803 Posts	Posted 09/16/2026 2:09 pm I didn't see this one on CoC so sent some photos off. This looks like a VLDS so maybe this Pre-BIE never formed into a full BIE before the die was retired. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5877 Posts	Posted 09/16/2026 3:32 pm Very nice example. Is it an rpm as well (north)? Your pics are so clear it looks like an extra curve between the upper serif and the curve. The die crack @ E seems to run into the B and affected the lower portion. I've become infatuated lately with coins exhibiting filled letters, numbers, or MMs (or partially filled). This would be a fun one to come across for my collection because of the B,9, & 5! The earliest filled MM ive come across is 1919s. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2803 Posts	Posted 09/16/2026 8:38 pm Thanks for the comments! Nicely toned BU cents like this take good photos so I wont hog all the credit :) Quote: Is it an rpm as well (north)? I think that is just lighting tricks on this BU coin. Yes, this coin is a chip lovers dream. There is an internal break starting in the skull and also a chip on "R". Under the tip of the 9 is another chip starting.

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4051 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:12 pm I missed this first time around...super nice BIE you have! Cohen would call it an "associated" BIE since it does not fill the entire space between the B and E. Not sure actually how CoC will designate it but for sure it's worth a listing if not already there.
