Just Bob Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 It isn't a BIE, and I don't see any doubling or re-punching, but, to be totally honest, the pictures are just too fuzzy when I enlarge them. Most minor doubling is very subtle, and requires clear close-up pictures to identify accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) A BIE is a die Chip between the B & E which your coin does not show. As JustBob states, larger, clear photos with no reflectiofn are required to identify most DD.

Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted June 10, 2020 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted June 10, 2020 Just for the record, and before anyone asks, NGC does not recognize minor die chips like that, though submitters send us plenty of 'em. BIEs were hugely popular in the 1960s. There were books cataloging them, and there was even a club for enthusiasts. Just like so many minor coin oddities that resulted from the U. S. Mint's abysmal quality control during the 1940s-60s, these faded from popularity when accurate reference books on mint errors and varieties superseded the flood of wishful thinking guides that surrounded me as a kid in the '60s.

That's pretty good. It's nice to see that you sometimes find fun here, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
