1955 Lincoln bie variety question.

Is this considered a bie variety, die chip or are both the same? Thanks for your time, patience and information.

Poor man's doubled die on the date.
Not sure on the E. Either a die chip or a retained lamination. I wouldn't consider it a BIE variety.

 

Thanks furryfrog02, I never even considered lamination..duh...lol

 

Looks like a die chip IMO. I wouldn't call it a BIE, but sometimes people can get a little loose with the definition. I don't think you would too much criticism if you include it with a collection of BIEs considering it's location

 

Oh boy, sounds like an inbetween and would have to call definition as you are flipping coin. Get it?...jk...lol
This is great and thanks for your honest opinions.

 

Yes it is a BIE. It's in both the Cohen & Hardy Index Cross references: Cohen 55-B109, Hardy 55P-4SBL+4. Listed on COC as LDB4-1955-002C 4SBL+

Appears to me as just a die chip. JMHO

 

Just looks like a cud, MHO.

 

. . . Not BIE

 

. . . You are a bit of All Right ... Thx

 

Interesting. Thanks for sharing!

 

A Cud involves the rim. This one does not, making it a die chip.

 

No.. These are Cuds


As stated. It involves the edge and goes into the field.
