<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2429530, member: 1892&quot;]The less-important aspect of this coin is the BIE - during that era, for some reason, Lincolns often developed die chips right there, where a chunk of die between the B and E broke off and subsequent strikes looked like &quot;BIE.&quot; A kinda cool thing, but relatively common and not really a value-adder.</p><p><br /></p><p>The more important thing, and I&#039;m surprised nobody mentioned it yet, is the repunched mint mark. Your coin is FS-022.1, a CONECA Top 100 RPM, Lincoln Cent Resource Top 50, and possibly the most prominent repunched mint mark in the <b>entire Lincoln Cent series</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not a huge value-adder because too few specialize in accumulating Lincoln RPM&#039;s and they&#039;re available in Mint State grades, but in terms of relative &quot;importance&quot; you likely won&#039;t come across a better Lincoln RPM in your collecting career. It&#039;s a <b>biggie</b>. If Lincoln RPM&#039;s were more in demand, this would be a moon-money coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.lincolncentresource.com/RPMS/1956rpm1.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.lincolncentresource.com/RPMS/1956rpm1.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.lincolncentresource.com/RPMS/1956rpm1.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://varietyvista.com/Variety%20Master%20Listings/lincoln%20rpms%201956-1957.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://varietyvista.com/Variety%20Master%20Listings/lincoln%20rpms%201956-1957.htm" rel="nofollow">http://varietyvista.com/Variety Master Listings/lincoln rpms 1956-1957.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
