koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 12/17/2015 11:56 pm I ran into an entire roll of these at a recent show. Pages and pages of BIEs are listed in both the Cohen book and BIE Handbook so I made no attempt so figure out which it is. Report this Post to the Staff

OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 12/18/2015 12:19 am I was looking through the cohen book as you posted this Cohen book only has one 57 that goes over top triangle like with angled bottom and two clumps looks exactly like it for a drawing. 57-B608 or 57-B609 is the same but with 9 filled Edited by OcalaFlorida 12/18/2015 12:21 am Report this Post to the Staff

JC Stevens Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 12/18/2015 7:14 pm I think OcalaFlorida is correct in it being the 57-B608 (pg 66) which will show a cracked skull, two die cracks on the coat with a die break east of VBD. The Reverse will Die Breaks/Chips on the left wheat and on the T in CENT. The 57-B609 will have a filled 9 (Die Chip) in the Date. Depending on the markers Hardy Index listing could be 57P-4FL+21 (pg LXIII). We do not yet have this die listed on COC. JC Cuds-on-Coins http://cuds-on-coins.com/ Report this Post to the Staff
