Hi gang,

I posted a message about this the other day without pictures and tried to add them this morning but it won't let me for some reason...so I'm trying a fresh one.

I just need some help on knowing what I have in the way of variety and value of this Penny. I have searched other coin sites but couldn't find this scenario.

Please help :)

Nice example, but these miscues are fairly common on mid-1950s wheat cents. Some premium I'm sure, but probably not a great deal.

Not a variety, an error. Known as a BIE. Maybe 2.00 The cracks on the skull are from over worked dies. Very common in the mid 50s. You can probably find it on Cuds on Coins.
Rest in Peace

Very nice! I like these. Unfortunately as stated, not much of a premium.

From looking at you pictures. Which isn't as good having it in hand. It looks maybe numbers 028 030 or 060 at cudsoncoins. Like previous mention not much value only $3—$5. Maybe?

As stated this is a BIE coin, looks like its a FL+, http://cuds-on-coins.com/hardy-index-system/ these don't carry to much premium unless they are F+, and even then its a small community of collectors

Thank you much CoinTheTerm...cool site.

The one I have seems a bit different due to how the meat of the error leans on the "B" a bit more that the images in that cool site you sent me showing the FL+. I tried to copy and paste it below.

But, I'm new at all this so you guys tell me :).

LOL...this is so interesting how many varieties there are.
This this scenario seems to break even of the top and bottom of the letters.

Actually...even with the upper B & E but even with lower B / lower than the lowest of E?
