coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/03/2021 08:26 am 3-5 cents. It is a normal 1957 cent from Philadelphia. The area you are looking is is showing circulation contact. Note the whole area. The coin is not a doubled die. Just a normal example from that year. https://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/3...679_2200.jpg Extra large image. Do not open this on a cell phone as it will take some time. Note the 'I' normally looks like that. Edited by coop 05/03/2021 08:30 am Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5675 Posts	Posted 05/03/2021 08:35 am Agree that it's a BIE, die break between the B and E. http://cuds-on-coins.com/ldb4-1957-2/ Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19197 Posts	Posted 05/03/2021 08:46 am Yes, a common BIE die chip. It's possible a BIE collector would give upwards of 50 cents for the coin. If the coin was mid-MS grade, then maybe a couple dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 05/03/2021 1:59 pm May be common to find in the US but to find in Serbia? I'm thinking not so much.......and probably has a much better premium over there too. Report this Post to the Staff
AbrahamLincoln43 Valued Member Serbia (Srbija) 99 Posts	Posted 05/03/2021 4:09 pm Yes,they are much more valuable here.I have another one with BIE,I think the same year 1957,in better condition. I recently sold no FG Lincoln Cent from 1969 to a collector for 40 dollars.These other minor errors can be worth a far ammount of money.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 05/03/2021 7:56 pm 1957 seems to be the poster child year for BIEs. Even if uncommon in Serbia, these can be bought for next to nothing via the internet. Very top end of value? Maybe $1? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97162 Posts	Posted 05/03/2021 11:20 pm It's a nice example of a BIE.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
