Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 04/28/2010 01:13 am Nice BIE! Thanks for posting! We need some of you vets to share a few variations with us that have only heard or read about. Like a IIBIE! Report this Post to the Staff
DMT740 New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 04/28/2010 5:04 pm Are the BIEs worth anything other than the "awe cool" factor? Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 04/28/2010 6:25 pm From the way I understand, they were the craze back in the day and may have commanded a few bucks, but now they're just cool. If there were someone out there trying to put together some kind of BIE set, they might be interested in it, but I wouldn't think it would go for much. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/28/2010 7:55 pm The problem with collecting them is that the die chip/crack gets worse with continued use. So you might have several examples of the same BIE and they could look different from coin to coin. Report this Post to the Staff
