The is a BIE error. They were collectable at one time. But after discovering they were a die chip and change with continued use of the die, they stopped collecting them. Most are from the 1950's as they over used the dies at that time. They still are out there and many save them anyway.

That is a die chip that is referred to as a BIE and it's a very nice one. I would put it in a 2x2 and keep it. Congrats.

When they were popular, I never found one. Now that they're no big deal, I've found a couple of them.
