IC_0117 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 04/19/2018 7:06 pm Hello, new collector here. Can one of your awesome members advise if this an error? The "B" and "E" in LIBERTY on obverse look like there's a slab or something connecting them. Appreciate any input, thanks for your time if you bothered to check this out. =) * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by IC_0117 04/20/2018 3:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/19/2018 7:17 pm That is called a Die Break, where an edge has broken off around the device. It has a name called a "BIE" error for it's "looks". See if you can find it listed at this site: http://cuds-on-coins.com/Lincoln-cent-bies/ Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74592 Posts	Posted 04/19/2018 8:01 pm To CCF! Very nice find! It's called a "BIE". It happens when the die chips out a small piece of metal in between the "B" and "E" of "Liberty". It's a keeper and should be placed in a 2x2 coin flip for protection. Errers and Varietys.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/19/2018 10:51 pm The pics show a 1955-D, so your title needs to be corrected. Use the "pencil & paper" button over your first post. It is a BIE for sure, and check out that link that Crazyb0 provided to see if you can identify which one it is. Who knows, it could be a new one.
