coinhusker26 Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 03/01/2024 02:40 am My buddy sent me this and I can't really find much on it. Trying to get better pictures from him but he's in another state currently. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24939 Posts	Posted 03/01/2024 02:53 am coinhusker26, this is called a "BIE" error. It's due to a die chip in the LIBERTY area, and is quite common on Lincoln cents from the 1950s. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
coinhusker26 Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 03/01/2024 03:09 am I just kinda realized it's the BIE. Not sure how I missed that. But most 55's shown when searched is the super doubled 55. Finding it now. Seems very common Report this Post to the Staff

Sometimes it's hard to wade through all the information on the interwebs to find the specific thing you want. Glad @hondo helped you though!

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 03/01/2024 09:56 am in my book a BIE is not a Cud. but this is a nice BIE. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

JC Stevens Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 03/01/2024 10:37 am A very nice BIE and yes, it is a die chip and not a Cud. See if it's listed on Cuds-on-Coins/ Broken Die Errors. https://cuds-on-coins.com/ldb4-1955d-2/ Cuds-on-Coins http://cuds-on-coins.com/ Report this Post to the Staff
