I posted a "multiple" BIE a little while ago, and just found another. This one is pretty strong across much of LIBERTY and comes in 6 die stages, of which this is stage E. 1951 Lincoln Wheat cent die error - BIE LDB345678- 1C-1951-001E    |

Nice looking LDB, interesting that this could also be considered a spikehead or rather a spikeneck.

Very nice. To me (old school) that is a die crack with die chips,not a traditional BIE.A BIE is caused by a design flaw on the die between the B and the E and the mint redesigned the dies and BIE's became less evident. John1  |

I like how the letter E is almost entirely swallow up by die chips. This is great @tb!

It will be hard to find a better BIE.

Thanks! Yeah, this one has a lot going for it. My wife walked in while I had it up on the screen, and even someone who really doesn't much care about error coins was like, "hey that's a nice crack on that one."

Great coin. Glad you saved it from generic wheat bag. I've never seen that one. Very cool and informative (even to a newbie).
