1929 Lincoln Wheat Penny-Die Break error Obverse

Hi guys,

I have this 1929 Lincoln Wheat penny with what appears to be a die break or die chip between the letters "I" and "B" and a filled in "B" on the Obverse. Can someone confirm that it is a II F-3 IIB Variety?

If so, is this uncommon for a 1929 Wheat penny? I see there is no reference for it on Cuds and Coins.

Cuds are on the rim of the coin it just looks like circulation wear to me.

 

Cuds on Coins lists more than just cuds.

 

Got a little confused, never head or been to that website.For some reason I was thinking the OP was reffering to a cud on the coin which there is obviously not.Didn't sleep well last night.

 

Did you stay up late so you wouldn't miss changing the time on your clocks?

 

Did you loose an hour? Lol

 

More than an hour,a lot of intreasting things happen during the night.

 

Not at my place. That's when the owls hoot.

 

I think your coin could be a Die chip error, but it also has a contact damage smear on the same area. Top of L and across I & B it look to have metal movement that happen long before it was taken out of circulation.

 

I think there is a die chip there but there's a PMD smear making it more obvious

 

That's a BIE between the letters and die chips in the B.

 

I forgot to comment on the coin. My apologies. To me it looks like a BIE error with a Die chip in the B. It also appears to be damaged from a hit which flattened that area and then it was worn from circulation handling. Nice looking for a coin that's seen 92 years of public service.
