Yes, it's a BIE. A BIE is a BIE, big or small. You really should get THE book.  |

Nice BIE, reverse holds the grade down. Very common in MS.

I was always under the impression if there is a die chip there then its a BIE. I see it more as a way of noting the presence of a die chip rather than actually having to actually look like an I is there.

It's not really the size of the thing, but just being located on LIBERTY and meeting a minimum other criteria. Lots of "BIE" coins do not even have the break between the B and the E, let alone look like an I. It is a convenient catch-all term and not meant to be taken literally. And yes, I have the BIE Handbook (that really is what it's called) and there are gobs and gobs of these things recorded and numbered. But honestly I just use cuds-on-coins.com to attribute them and if it isn't on there I submit it for a new listing even if it's in the old book. The more that in the online catalog, which is fully cross-referenced to the books, the easier it is for everyone to figure out what they've got.

Here are some definitions as listed in the Glossary of Jean Cohen's "The Classification and Value of Errors on the Lincoln Cent", 1969. BIE as an error - A die break between the letters B and E of LIBERTY BIE as a category - Includes all die breaks between the letters in LIBERTY. As an example, a die break between R and T of LIBERTY would be included in the BIE category. BIE (associated) - Any small or light error between the letters in LIBERTY, or those that extend from the top or bottom of the letters |
