Spence Moderator United States 34441 Posts	Posted 06/18/2018 5:34 pm Hmm no I don't think so. It looks to me like the letters I an B have been damaged and all squished together along a line. Maybe damage from a Gumball Machine?

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21652 Posts	Posted 06/18/2018 6:03 pm Looks to me like something has removed the I (you can see where it was placed), flattened the tail of the L and pushed part of the B over. No matter what happened though, it is PMD. PS- A BIE coin has a die chip between the B & E that makes it look like it says BIE. It has nothing to do with the I in LIBERTY.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75032 Posts	Posted 06/18/2018 6:26 pm It's not a "BIE". It's Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). You can see how the metal got pushed over and flattened. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 06/18/2018 8:30 pm I can understand why you would ask, but I'm sure you see now how the metal was pushed to the right causing the squished letter look. Report this Post to the Staff
