DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 01/27/2019 9:38 pm The "D" (mint mark) is damaged. If it was doubled it would be called a RePunched Mint mark (RPM). The issue in LIBERTY Is called a "BIE". It is a small die chip. Report this Post to the Staff

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3659 Posts	Posted 01/27/2019 9:40 pm You have a die break on LIBERTY that is known as a "BIE" break. Your coin looks like LDB4-1955D-066 4F+ on cuds-on-coins.com. BIE coins are common, especially from the 1950s. They are fun and can be collectible, but won't make anyone rich. At local shows, I can get about $4 for a variety grouping of 10-12 of the minor die chips. I don't see any doubling on you coin. The marker for LDB4-1955D-066 4F+ is the die clash next to the neck, directly under Lincoln's chin. Report this Post to the Staff
RaleighCoinDeal Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 01/27/2019 9:41 pm Okay from the word Liberty you have a filled in letter from the B to the E. This is an error. We call it a Clogged Die. It is a raised up piece of metal that is not suppose to be there. This is also a known place for this error to happen. But on the D mint mark I'm not sure. Maybe the same or maybe just PMD. Cool find. Need a better picture of the D Mintmark to be sure. Report this Post to the Staff

We call it a Clogged Die. It is a raised up piece of metal that is not suppose to be there. This is also a known place for this error to happen. "Clogged Die" isn't a thing. This is a minor error caused by the die losing metal in that area due to wear/stress, thus creating the raised metal on the coin. It's an inverse relationship. These are generally referred to as BIEs (like E&V said).
