grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 05/21/2022 4:43 pm Just wondering if this fits in the definition of a BIE Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34480 Posts	Posted 05/21/2022 5:00 pm @gros, by definition, a BIE must include a die chip between the B and E of LIBERTY. I'm not seeing that diagnostic die chip on this coin though. Am I missing something?

Dearborn Moderator United States 100713 Posts	Posted 05/21/2022 6:08 pm Even though the 'scrapes' are going at the wrong angle, and are only on the field of the reverse, I think it maybe Feeder Finger Damage. I say this because the damage goes right up against the wheat stalk and the E . P and also the O of one without any damage to them at all. I do not see any BIE on the obverse at all for the reasons as stated by Spence Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/21/2022 7:18 pm Correct on the FFD on the reverse. (This doesn't add a premium, but that is what is going on the that reverse die) Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34480 Posts	Posted 05/21/2022 7:24 pm Now that I am looking at the rev, anyone else seeing a Retained Cud on that right wheat stalk?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/21/2022 7:30 pm Just a rim to rim die crack so far. It won't be a Retained Cud until the die spreads a bit: How is this an eventual process? As the die crack spreads deeper into the die, that affected area starts allowing movement of the Retained Cud. It won't be a Die Cud until that area breaks away from the die: CoopHome: When die a rim to rim die crack become a Retained Cud. How does a die show a Die Cud? The Cud is the end of the life of that die, so only a few examples are created. Edited by coop 05/21/2022 7:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 05/21/2022 8:29 pm Looks similar to LDB4-1955S-017 as listed on cuds-on-coins, it also has a Cohen number 55S-BA143. Here is the link http://cuds-on-coins.com/ldb4-1955s-2/ Report this Post to the Staff
lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 05/21/2022 9:04 pm On second look, all the reverse die cracks are there for a match to Cohen 55S-BA140. I could not find a listing for this one on cuds-on-coins. possible new listing Report this Post to the Staff
