It's a BIE Die crack. Very common

 

Please translate for us simple folk (the BIE I mean )

LIBERTY LIBIERTY The Die crack creates an extra I do to speak.

 

I just realized what your picture is XD... I can't!!!!!

A "BIE" error is a die break between the "B" & "E" that looks like an "I".

 

Ahh.. Got it! Thanks!

I have >100 of these, most are from 1955 alone. This site is great for attributing what type of "BIE" die breaks.

I don't see your die break listed for your 1999 Lincoln - could be new discovery?

I would submit pictures to JC Stevens (he is admin of the site and "the" expert on these, IMHO). There are detailed instructions on how to get these over to him - he responds quickly and is such a great dude.

Here is the link on how to fill out & submit pix: http://cuds-on-coins.com/attributions-guide-on-what-to-do/


Here are some of my favorites:



Let us know what he says - very interested in hearing back the results!

There is a specific pix list he likes to see for "BIE" submissions, also:

 

BIE Breaks can happen on any year.
Here are 3 1994 BIE from my collection..

 

There are also LII's, IIB's, EIR's, RIT's and TIY's

Got that?

Don't know why I gravitated towards collecting these things. They are so common (and not more than face value). Just think they are cool, I guess.

 

Didn't you forget the OMG's?

 

How bout LOL's?

 

Jeff - I don't see your variety listed, so you may want to send in your pictures to Cudsoncoins and perhaps get yourself an attribution. It may be a progression on this variety. Yours is more significant. LDB4-1999 : Cuds on Coins (cuds-on-coins.com)
