loubaby51 New Member 36 Posts	Posted 09/09/2018 03:22 am BIE die break This is a sub-category of the die break affecting the letters of LIBERTY on the Lincoln Cent. Technically, only a die break between BE of LIBERTY qualifies as a BIE. Generically speaking, however, a die break between any of the letters of LIBERTY qualifies. This variety was termed the "BIE" because that is where the vast majority of die breaks occur. This area of collecting was again the rage in the 1960s, but waned when the obverse die was modified and there were fewer specimens to collect. However, recent years have seen a new crop of this variety showing up and an increased interest. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/09/2018 2:40 pm A lot of the 1950's wheat cents suffer from over use abuse. Not a big thing to find them. Report this Post to the Staff
