    1957-D IIB

    Additional Information
    Date: 1957D

    I found an interesting new BIE looking through a BU roll of 57-D Cents. This one is an IIB, and it does not seem to be listed in Cohen or Hardy (thanks to coulsonmd for the Hardy BIE Handbook!). It is also a triple RPM (serifs) that I don't see on CC. I took attribution photos for JC to list on COC, see below. The 3D/perspective view shows how tall this break is, so how deep into the die it went.

    Unfortunately, I only found one in the BU roll...

    Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

    NICE error!
