mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 12/12/2012 1:38 pm The more the merrier. Two more finds from the 5K plus penny hoard. Both have the BIE error. I'm only about 8 percent done searching this mess but I've already pulled about 3 or 4 percent of those. The second BIE looks more like a Beagle's floppy ear. Floppy Ear Error (I just made that up) Report this Post to the Staff

sab3927 Valued Member United States 163 Posts	Posted 12/14/2012 12:34 pm Die break can appear between any of the letters of LIBERTY. I have some LIIBERTY and LIIBIERTY. Might be fun to collect one of each possibility. Report this Post to the Staff

sab3927 Valued Member United States 163 Posts	Posted 12/15/2012 11:11 am Yeah. Die chips in the letters themselves are fun too but listed as a different error type. Get a hold of Alan Herberts Price Guide to Mint Errors and see his listings for the various BIE varieties. Might be fun to collect die chips in the letters. See if you can find chips in each of the letters. Report this Post to the Staff
