1988 penny with cud or bie?

Is that what it is? If so, is it worth anything?

Not a CUD or BIE. A die crack on Lincoln's head. I wouldn't say it's worth anything over face.

 

OK, thanks. It looks like extra metal on his head.

 

It's from where the die cracked. The metal gets pushed in there when it is minted.

 

FYI - A CUD is a die break along the rim:

A BIE is a die chip between the B and the I in LIBERTY

Good find, good eye though!

 

Thanks guys

 

Here's a die chip w/die crack on Lincoln's head:

 

Got It, thanks!

 

looks like a small interior die break as well, check here for reference..http://www.error-ref.com/?s=interior die break

 

also these are commonly called "cracked skull"

 

I thought a "BIE" chip is between the B & E.

Nice catch Sheila, a saver IMHO. " Some do, some don't". (collect or think they are worth anything). I save 'em all.

 

Here is a "BIE" error.

 

And here is a cud error.

 

You thought a chip. It's actually fossilized palmetto bug remains.

 

Durp. You're right. Not sure why I typed that lol. Good catch.

 

Sheila have you seen these sites for things along this line? Good to know there is a niche for some of this stuff. www.cuds-on-coins.com and www.maddieclashes.com

 

No, I have not. When I looked it up I wasn't sure what to look up.

 

Sheila, you can see more things in a coin than I could see with two pairs of eyes and a Geiger counter. And I mean that as a compliment!
