Probably listed in the other BIE book . Either way it doesn't matter to me. Just showing the BIE people Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95550 Posts	Posted 02/22/2022 9:04 pm nice BIE, I have seen so many different variations of BIE's that I'm not surprised they all are not listed Collecting since 1972.

shantiom Pillar of the Community United States 522 Posts	Posted 02/23/2022 01:27 am That's a sweet coin irrespective of the BIE, which is present and can also be looked up with the Cohen naming convention, but that is not mainstream but does capture BIE progressions in more detail, at least some people hold that pov.

Looks like it could be LDB4-1956-019 4EL+ It does look like on of the coins on Cuds on coins but the markers are all wrong. This one has two die cracks at 7 o'clock and a die crack in skull but no die chip on E of one cent. Probably listed in the other book I can't access.. Maybe JC can see if it is?

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 02/23/2022 09:50 am Yea nice coin. If you read the Cuds site, they just started listing BIE chips a few years ago. Edited by Willburton 02/23/2022 09:50 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/23/2022 10:22 am Because of the die chip issue, it could be an earlier or later die state of any of any listed example. Thus the frustration that the people in the 1960's had. Eventually they left off on the searches. Report this Post to the Staff
JC Stevens Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 02/23/2022 11:22 am Nice BIE!! Die Chips in LIBERTY on Lincoln Cents became popular for some collectors in the 60's. In the handbook Howard O Hardy developed a schematic method for identifying and classifying Liberty Chips that was called the Hardy Index System. The index was applied to over 1800 illustrations by John Gedko for this handbook. The last illustration in the book was a 1970D. It seems that interest in the Guild and Die Chips in LIBERTY faded with the passing of Mr. Bush. For whatever reason there seems to be very few Die Breaks in Chips on Lincoln Cents minted in the 70"s and 80's. Then starting in the 90's we started seeing more. Your die chip is a "DL+" "DL+" indicates a break of ½ or more, but less than ¾ that extends below the lowest level of the letters. The link below is to the Hardy Index System. Hardy Index System : Cuds on Coins (cuds-on-coins.com) Cohen has 55 1956 BIE's listed while Hardy has 85. Cuds-on-Coins http://cuds-on-coins.com/ Report this Post to the Staff

I went to Cuds on coins for 1956. Obviously you can narrow it down somewhat by the length of the BIE from there I look for die markers. Personally I am not interested in these errors, and I have been trying to improve a friend's set. I think this coin has personality. I have wondered recently if these BIES are just progressions of existing Bies. Thanks for responding and educating me. Report this Post to the Staff
