thomas_z71 Valued Member United States 246 Posts	Posted 04/18/2007 3:55 pm nice find, I assume from the previous post that these aren't worth a premium? Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 04/18/2007 4:10 pm for someone who collects anomolous coins ,, especially the BIE collectors ,, a coin like this may bring .50 to 1.00. Now based on the face value of the coin thats not a bad premium !! I have quite a few that exhibit die chips/cracks/filled letters etc. around and in the liberty I like them just because !! not because they are extremely valuable . I would like to find a twin to thingee's cent,, that is one I do not have ,,but by seeing it I now know about it and can be watching for one . Metalman Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 05/17/2007 08:36 am That coin is not a die chip, as would be a BIE cent. The BIE cent raised areas have very sharp edges. This is a smooth hump...obviously not a die break of any kind. Looks much more like a die dent to me, haven't seen one like it. Report this Post to the Staff
