I have a 1998 penny with a die chip? in the second 9 in the date. The 1957 has the B in Liberty half filled in. and the 9 in the date looks like it has a folded 9 or is it filled in? Cheryl. Be home after doctors.
cheryl , would like to see a picture of the full '57-D coin , looks like it has some nice toning on it . Am I right ? rzage
The 1957 penny sat in a cardboard holder for many years. The back as turned brown. I took the photo inthe sun.
It appears (to me at least) that the 1957 cent with die chips were pretty common. If I'm wrong please correct me. Thanks
I don't know if they are common. I have seach many rolls of pennies and came up empty hand it. The thing is the coins I have posted has been here for many years , My husband Stephen save them. Nice???? Thanks for the help We are keeping thwm
Hi Cheryl, Nice 57D... great coloring. Nice find! I have oodles of 57's with die breaks in the devices but do not have this particular combination. The 98 is nice... guess I better keep searching. jeankay
Very nice, I keep all chips and cuds too. Curious as to what is going on with the Y in liberty in the first pic. Any ideas?
rockdude, your right. I would say 56, 57 and 58 cents had allot die chips. Cheryl and Jeankay you may also want to check the word liberty for the BIE cents. They where some what common during the mid 50's to the mid 60's. Lou
Yes Lou... sure am finding a lot of the BIE's, too. So far: 5 of bu 57D's. 4 of 57D circs. 6 of the 57P. 5 of the 55D. and 1 56P with the BIE and a filled 9. These are just the ones I have not photographed, catalogued and stored in flips. There are a lot of filled letters and numbers in those years, too. jeankay
BIE's are fun to find. jeankay you have to post a picture of one your BIE cent for us if you can. Lou
The "Y" suffered Post-Mint damage which also affected the right end of the cross bar of the "T"! Frank
Ok, Can you tell me about the weak strike you see and the Post-Mint damage, I will try an post a better photo. Cheryl
B I E 's Okay Lou here are a few: Upper left, B blob E plus part of the 9. Second row, on left 56 P and on the right 55 D. Third row, left is 57 P bu and on right is 57 P. jeankay
Okay, so they snuck up on me and changed the coins from side by side to a list. Argh! Just read the dates in the order they are in the actual post and it comes out okay. jk
jeankay, thanks for posting the pictures and no problem on the listing change. Those are some nice BIE's! Thanks for sharing. Lou
Filled in mint marks Is it me or is this a very very common occurrance? And are the two sizes of mint marks, at least? zg
