    I think the E just took a hit or something. If there was extra thickness, it would be more apparent on the other letters as well. Keep up the hunt!

      Either the E took a hit or it is the beginning of a BIE die break.

        That's exactly what came to mind when I saw it.

          My first thought was a BIE die break as well.

            1956 is also the year they enlarged the size of the letters in LIBERTY, but agree with others it looks like the start of a BIE cent.
