Suspect possible acid deterioration more so on the reverse? Thanks, Doug.

I agree with John. Filled 'B" but not a BIE.

I have rippling on a coin in an ANACS holder. The coin is graded unc with no mention of the rippling. Asked ANACS, but did not get a reply. Also I've had "watermarks" graded unc from them. Got a red 2 cent ANACS details that says whizzed, that looks like clear fields.

I do see die chips in and between the "IBE" in LIBERTY. Thought that was definition of a bie  |

Seeing the die chips obverse. Seem to be common in the 1950's. The reverse rippling seems to be similar to either acid etching, or maybe a heat treatment after strike ( PSD). Thanks, Doug. |

From Cuds on coins: Quote:
Die Chips
Definition: A small piece (less than 4 square millimeters) that falls out of the die face and has no direct connection to the design rim. The missing piece leaves a void in the die face into which coin metal flows. As a result, the coin shows a featureless lump in the affected area.
A die chip can be connected to a die crack or it can be freestanding. Die chips frequently develop within narrow interstices in the design, such as the gap between the letters of LIBERTY. Hence the so-called "BIE" errors. There are different types of BIES. A broken post is a Die Chip, and a chip anywhere in LIBERTY is one of them. Ken Potter's book Strike It Rich, says a chip anywhere in LIBERTY other than between the B and E is called an "Associated Bie". Edited by CoinMasters
