That is a "BIE" that you need to check out on Cuds on Coins and a very nice and clean one!! This is the closest one I could find. Here is the one to scroll down to and check out but I think yours is a new one!! LDB4-1956-009B 4FL+. This is the site (http://cuds-on-coins.com/ldb4-1956-2/)
Thats cool :)
How do I tell if its a new one or not?
If you can match some markers and tell it's the same.Quote:

They grow but no chip or part of a chip will heal itself. Example, you see one with half of the bie, it could be the same if it grew, example you see one with half of the bie but it starts lower then it can not be the same since the lower part can not vanish.
Ok cool, thats a lot of pics to go thu lol, ill check em out n see :)

I checked all the pics and the closest i could find with a similar marker is (LDB4-1956-002C 4F+) but its larger and not as smooth and the die chip aint in the exact same spot but very very close in the last S of states.
Chips can grow but not move. It can become bigger and cover what was already there but not move as it grows without the original section still being part of it.
So if you mean the location moved then it's different, if it covers more it can be a later example, if it covers less it can be earlier. :)
It moved a tad but since their example of I is bigger and longer than mine Doesnt that rule that one out?
If it is different, what steps do I take to get it registered or posted etc...?
It might even get used as a stage if it's the same but bigger or smaller. There should be a link there to contact.
Looks like Ed got you going in the right direction and explained it better than I ever could! Did you find the link on the left side of the page for emailing attributions? Link (http://cuds-on-coins.com/attribution...on-what-to-do/) It explains in detail how and what to do. I look forward to seeing what you come up with! That is a really nice looking BIE!
Thank you for letting me know what it was and for the links :) I had never heard of BIE lol
The site I sent you to is Cuds on Coins and is another good site to just hop on and surf around to see what's out there! You can spend hours and not see it all!:)Quote:

Spend a little time reading through the glossary and acronym lists I have made right here. It will answer a lot of your questions right off the bat.
Nice BIE... Did you check out the one that Jon (makecents) pointed out http://cuds-on-coins.com/ldb4-1956-2/ The crack along the bottom of the shoulder looks like it may be there on yours but I can not tell for sure... It looks like yours is longer which if it matches would make sense as your BIE is more developed... On the one you pointed out the chip on the rev looks good but the BIE does not match... I do not see the knob off the top of yours that shows on the CC coin and the width of the BIE on yours is much wider than the COC sample... Your rev die could be the same rev die as the COC sample but used with a different obv!!!
