New 1957 BIE Discovery

rmpsrpms

A forum member over on CCF sent me his newly-discovered 1957 BIE to shoot in high resolution. It's amazing we're still finding BIEs, Doubled Dies, RPMs, etc on 1950's coins, but this is an interesting "Pre-BIE" or actually "Pre-IBIE" since it has cracks between the I and B as well as B and E in LIBERTY. You can see the 9000x9000 pixel images on EasyZoom at links below. Double-click where you want to zoom in:

Obverse:

Reverse:

Edited to add: I did try uploading the images but the upload failed. It gave no error, just stopped about halfway through on the obverse. When I tried the reverse it uploaded the whole file, but then crashed during some final processing step. Not sure what the max file size / image size is for the forum but I guess it's less than 81MP.

Also some kind of retained interior die break.

Thanks!

I did also shoot the coin with a 10x objective and did some 3D rendering:

Yes, I forgot about that. I believe it was listed on Cuds On Coins in both BIE and RIDB categories.
