Tommyjet Valued Member United States 334 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 8:22 pm Found this today. Looks like Abe has a little to much copper on the top of his head. Also looks like a Bie. Any opinions would be great. Thanks to the members for looking Report this Post to the Staff

You have a nice chip marker on the left wheat ear that may make identifying easier. Just an opinion, it may be glue on Abe's head. Report this Post to the Staff

d_dob Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 03/13/2016 11:10 pm I agree that it looks like it could be glue on the skull, but, you've definitely got a BIE and a nice die chip on the reverse there, TommyJet. I've got a nice BIE on a '55 LWC also, and I believe it's on a Denver mint, too. I love those die chips on the reverse of the 55's! (I've got several of them, too.) They might be common, but, they're sure fun to look at. Report this Post to the Staff

JC Stevens Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 03/14/2016 2:09 pm It might be a later stage of the LDB4-1955D-027B. The 4th stage Die crack extends above the hair line. If you can email the images I'll take a closer look. It helps if the images have the proper orientation.
