grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 01/10/2022 7:32 pm I have absolutely no clue just wondering if this crack is the beginning of a BIE variety. There are a few like this in a roll with 4 "BIE" coins I guess I should look for a die marker. Look at me speaking like a coin guy. LOL Nope I should have taken a picture first. No die crack between B and E Edited by grospoisson 01/10/2022 7:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7510 Posts	Posted 01/10/2022 8:31 pm First image looks like a small die crack connecting the B and I, but what is more significant on this coin is the interior die crack on the bust. Last photo is considered BIE. Nice coins. Report this Post to the Staff

JC Stevens Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 01/11/2022 11:32 am This is a well know BIE listed both in 1969 edition of "THE CLASSIFICATION AND VALUE OF ERRORS ON THE Lincoln Cent" & The "BIE Handbook" Edited by Howard O Hardy and published in 1972. Both show a number of different stages for this die. A number of these show the die crack on the coat as a die marker. Cuds-on-Coins http://cuds-on-coins.com/ Report this Post to the Staff
