AMB Pillar of the Community United States 801 Posts	Posted 01/19/2015 10:18 pm Thanks, but that didn't answer my question. I'm under the assumption Jean Cohen's book "The Classification and Value of Errors on the Lincoln Cent" list the progressions of the die break (the variation or progression aka variety)... I don't have that book (I think it was published long long ago) but had hoped someone did. ...I certainly didnt mean to confuse that with "die variety" which would be the coins we are all really looking for $$...but thanks for your point.

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4036 Posts	Posted 01/19/2015 10:25 pm Your BIE is listed in Cohen as 57D-B449a. Description is "BIE. Upper 5 filled. Diebreak on right wheat. From the same die as B419." There should be a small die chip at upper right side of right wheat grains. The pictures match yours. Good pics, BTW. I find BIEs very interesting, though the number of them for 1957-D is daunting. There are perhaps 60-70 full BIEs for 1957-D alone!

There are perhaps 60-70 full BIEs for 1957-D alone! Me too and that's a crazy amount! I keep em all but haven't got around to tackling the numbering project. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/20/2015 12:20 am The reason I don't get interested in them is that they are progressive die chips. Which means they will vary according to the dies age. (Getting larger as the die ages.) Report this Post to the Staff
