I'm sure it won't bring a premium. Cuz it seems like nothing I find does LOL I just love searching them and finding anomalies but let me know what y'all think. Report this Post to the Staff

datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 08/11/2022 8:19 pm A "BIE" is a die break "chip" between the letters of LIBERTY on a Lincoln Cent. These peculiar error pennies are among the most common type of die break varieties on Lincoln pennies. They're widely sought by Lincoln Penny collectors however, as well as error coin and variety enthusiasts. I have generally seen them sold for between 4.50 and $14 on ebay non graded sales, mostly because they are common they dont command larger values. This article mentions $5-10 which appears in line with my findings of actual sales. https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/...ror-pennies/ Edited by datadragon 08/11/2022 8:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
