Organized Collecting of BIE cents

[coulsonmd]

How many of you collect BIE's by Cohen number or COC number? I am asking about collecting in an organized way rather than just setting them aside or putting them in a jar. I have been collecting on and off since the 1960's. Thanks in advance for your input.

I just collect die chips in devises as a group but have not followed any numbering system. I have thought about trying to organize as a set with different years and devices.
(Can't say I'm too organized about anything! But trying to get there for other areas in the hobby.)

I have 516 using my database id#'s. Then cross reference to the Cuds-on-Coins "COC", Cohen and Hardy index.

Imaged and filed by Alan Herbert’s PDS system.

There are several other members that collect and organize their BIEs I just can't remember their names other than one other Atarian and he is attempting to write a book on cracks and chips including BIEs... Those members do not get on site often due to their work but check in from time to time!!!

I collect them by Cohen number but I am supportive of the COC numbering scheme as well. I still don't have a copy of Hardy so don't use it.

I just found a couple that aren't in Cohen that I need to image.

I would like to find enough BIE's to organize them! Just keeping on roll searching

I have oodles of them in a jar. Did not know there is a record-keeping (listing) of them.

The Hardy Index is by far the best system that I know for indexing errors. This index system shows the date, mm, location, and size of the die chip. Check it out http://www.lincolncentforum.com/terminology-list-h/ "Hardy Index System".

Starting in 2018 I will start adding a "suffix" to the COC index #'s on LIBERTY die Breaks. My hope is to regroup the listing by the new index number.

For example all of the "F" Full Die Chips would be at the top of the page, Followed by "E" less than full, "D" less than 3/4 and down to "A" associated die break/chip . This should make it easier for collectors to look up their coin. The 1955D 4F's has 64 listings and yon need to page through the whole list and check each one for a match. By grouping them by the size of the chip I hope they will be easier to find.

That sounds like a good system... Can you do that with 60D RPMs

[JC Stevens]

no.
