Lincoln BIE ID help
Good Day,
Just joined this group. I'm having a difficult time identifying/cataloging Lincoln Wheat Cent BIE errors. I've been to Cuds-on-coins.com and corresponding with them, but just cannot seem to figure out how to ID the BIE's with the listings at the site. Any info or suggestions is greatly appreciated. |

I've visited their site and the section on "Lincoln Cent Die Breaks" and it seems fairly straight forward. The system they are utilizing appears to be numbered 1-8 (ie. II-F-3) to show the position within "LIBERTY" where the die break occures. There are 8 possible positions for a die break to occur. The first is the very beginning between "L" and the rim. There are six other positions between any combination of two letters in "LIBERTY". And there is an eighth position occuring right after the "Y". Another way of referring to the die break is to show the "break" (an 'I') between the two letters in "LIBERTY" where the break occurs: "ILI", "LII", "IIB", "BIE", "EIR", "RIT", "TIY", and "TYI". So, before using their listings, you will already have yourself identified what may be a break between any of the letters in "LIBERTY". Now, you simply locate the proper set of listings for your break posistion and select the year of your cent. Then browse through the photos they have to identify the variety. Any other cross references they have to the coin will be listed below the photos. But, remember that this is their own identification system and will not necessarily correspond with anybody else's system for ID'ing these coins. I'm not sure if this is the information you are seeking, but I hope it has been helpful. |
