They are commonly known as "BIE" errors (as you said) and they are caused by die chips. You can find several variations as well, such as: "IIB", "EIR", etc. It just depends on where the die chip is located. Some people collect these, however a while back they were way more popular. I hope this helps.

Nice Find. As Sudz mentioned, these were pretty popular in the 1980's and 1990's. The interest seems to have fallen off. I don't know if it is because of the lack of variety of each of the "BIE" cents or they got labeled as damage and people shrugged and moved on.

I have seen
"LIIB"
"LIIIB"
"LIBIE"
"LIBIEI"

The crazier the spelling and more material in between, the higher the premium. It depends on the example, but they normally go for 1-5 dollars with the extreme cases on the upper end.
