Hi friends, First...I love that there are collectors here that enjoy and value these types of numismatic rarities. It's fun to have a place to share! I decided to post quickie images of the pair I have available. One of which is (to me) extra interesting. Here's the first (nothing special but a nice circulated example):  Here's the second and more interesting. The BIE exhibits a strike through...and I can't help but wonder if this strike through is associated with the happening of the BIE die break? Interesting.   Thanks for the fun in sharing, happy collecting! E. J. |

Wow, that die got worser/worstest. LOL Changing the shape of that area. Thus years ago when they realized that BIEs were progressive, collectors lost interest in them. Now the revival is happening again, and seeing for now, it is still progressing. (for how long though?)

coop,
Love the use of the word "worser"! That made me smile.
I ponder;
Tthe die chip to create the BIE went somewhere when it detached from the die. To my knowledge there are no partial BIE's so I "assume" (not saying I'm right) the chip happened in one piece or very close to it. I can't help but wonder if the strike through on my coin was created by the chip?
Anyway, just something to ponder.
E. J.

Great coins, and I do suppose the die chip went somewhere and there is a chance your struck through is it. Neat.

Actually, there are many partial BIEs listed. As @coop says, they are "progressive", and they seem to start with a crack, then break before any chips are broken out. I have made some animations of a couple of these progressions. In one, the BIE starts with a partial on the lower side, then expands to a full BIE. In the other, it appears the BIE starts with some cracks, but then the whole thing breaks out. I've been searching for a stage of this one where only part is broken out but have never found nor seen one. See the animations here: http://www.macrocoins.com/progressions.html |

Apologies, to rephrase more clearly: No partial BIE's on 1956-D Lincoln cents (the item of topic).
Also, the "In the other, it appears the BIE starts with some cracks, but then the whole thing breaks out." supports my suspicion of the strike through. Thank you rmpsrpms for that! Appreciate the opinion.

Well most of the examples I've seen don't have the BIE. So I feel it happen in the later die states, like the LDS/VLDS.

I stand corrected! Thanks to rmpsrpms and his posting of cuds-on-coins.com I see there are, in fact, known 56-D's with partial BIE Cuds. Thanks for the enlightenment! E. J. |
