JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21580 Posts	Posted 05/21/2026 8:46 pm Yes, it is BIE but it is not classed as an error, it is a die chip. Edited by JimmyD 05/21/2026 8:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

lahave56 Valued Member Canada 72 Posts	Posted 05/22/2026 10:49 am I've never seen one but then I wasn't looking. Would the occurrence of these coins tend to cluster around a certain date(s) from a given mint? If so, are those dates known so it's not a random search? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21580 Posts	Posted 05/22/2026 2:30 pm In theory a BIE die chip can happen on any Lincoln cent from any year and any mint. This is why there are so many of them out there. Edited by JimmyD 05/22/2026 5:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
