1983 LINCOLN cent BIE error

i am pretty sure this matches the cuds on coins posting LDB4-1983-003 4F+ It’s a pretty large portion and it appears to be the one on their website.

That must be the biggest BIE I have ever seen!
Thanks for sharing.

 

I thought it was worth sharing!

 

Does anyone know if this is something to offload on eBay or have it slabbed first? I’m really not sure how minor this is or what it may possibly bring. I couldn’t find any selling prices through research or anyone slabbing it.

 

Nice find and a good cud in that area but I don't feel it's worth grading. You'll never get your money back. Congrats!

 

It's not a cud because the die break does not involve the rim.
Definition: A cud is a die break that involves the rim and at least a little bit of the adjacent field or design.

 

Don't bother getting it slabbed. I know NGC don't attribute BIE's

 

what kind of error is this then? I have 1 very similar with weakness on the reverse

 

Die Break not involving the rim.

 

It's a very nice example of a die chip;
as mentioned above, it's one of the
largest "BiE's" I've seen.

Still, it's not worth slabbing, and I would
say that Ebay is the only venue for it.

 

Thanks for the advice everyone. As much as I enjoy it, I will be putting it up for adoption soon.

 

It’s up on the old eBay auction block if anyone cares to take a shot at it! The link to my eBay page can be found in my posting in the auction section here on Cointalk!

 

I just had to have that beautiful BIE!.. It is now mine.. Thanks

 

Thanks for another purchase! I’m sure it will fit in with your other errors very nicely! It’ll be in the mail tomorrow. Thanks again!
