Novicecoins Valued Member United States 141 Posts	Posted 10/04/2018 10:31 pm I've been going through coins and these two stood out as possible Die breaks? I've never really looked for die clashes and breaks before. Still trying to hone the art of DD's. The 9 in 1957 whc. And could the 1951 whc be a possible small BIE? I can get more pics if needed. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

The one in the date we refer to it as a broken die post, between the BE in liberty we call a 'BIE' cent which is worth like 50C-1$. (I have a thread about them feel free to check it out.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 10/05/2018 02:27 am Wheat cents are abbreviated LWC (for Lincoln Wheat cent), not WHC. It appears you have what I would call a "filled 9" in the date and a BIE in LIBERTY. The size of the break mostly determines what it is classified as. Most BIEs are probably die chips and not big enough to be called die breaks. The loose definition is that a defect changes from chip to break upon reaching four square millimeters in size.
