    This is a 1957 dated Lincoln Wheatback Cent with a die-break strike error on the obverse, commonly know as a "BIE" error - No mintmark denotes it as a Philadelphia Mint strike. - The die-break during the minting process caused a glob of metal in-between the B and E in LIBERTY. This type of error strike can be found on many different dates and from both the Philadelphia and Denver minted cents. - This coin is graded in Extra-Fine-40 condition.
