1957 D LWC Clogged Die Bie

Several nice die chips here, but not uncommon on 1957 cents.

Thanks Coinfrog and Spence. Had this for a few years and just thought it was cool. Even better to have it identified

Thanks Rothery. I believe you are correct although tough to see on this one. Not as prominent as most of the others I have. Even found one today that is a 1943 with a die crack

Coop's correct, but if you want to get technical it's not a BIE.
A "BIE" is a die break between the letters of LIBERTY on a Lincoln Cent.

Looks like your coin is the same die as mine but an earlier die stage. I was hoping it was a BIE so I could do some comparing of the reverse. When I posted mine a few years back JC Stevens replied with the following comment:

JC Quote: "Interesting coin!! Could be an early stage of 57D-CL412, later stage 57D-B475 "BIE", in the 1969 edition of "THE CLASSIFICATION AND VALUE OF ERRORS ON THE Lincoln CENT" by Jean Cohen. This 1957-D Cent, 1 of 120 for that date & MM, is listed under CLOGGED LETTERS and BIE. Markers are (Die break closes G od GOD. Die break above D and W in motto. Die crack over VBD. See with "BIE". Now what is interesting is the none of the reverse markers match? I'm thinking the Reverse die was changed. It would be neat to find the 57D-B475 to do an overlay and compare it to your coin."

I have been looking for this obverse die with the BIE so I can compare the reverse to see if it matches or not.
