andywoj00 Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 04/15/2016 9:02 pm I've been corresponding with JC at COC's trying to figure out what BIE varieties I have. For the life of me, I cannot seem to find the varieties when cruising through the listings. But yet, when I send a pic to JC, it comes up listed . I don't want to be a PITA and send photos of everything when they're already listed. For instance, attached is a pic of a BIE I have. From what I can tell, it would be a tossup with LDB4-1957D-039, 044, 059 or 068. The 068 seems to me to be the closest. No other markers that I can tell. So, is it a 068 or something else? This is my dilemma with others I haven't ID'd yet. Any advice or info is greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
