Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 05/05/2013 05:55 am no, a BIE error would be between the B and the E. Not sure what that is Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3347 Posts	Posted 05/05/2013 07:52 am I am looking at a listing in US COIN DIGEST headed "BIE varieties (II-F)" #II-F-3 is the variety showing IIB. I was thinking this might be that variety. It states that the extra "I" can be between any of the letters and each is assigned a different variety number. An IIB error sold on ebay for $7.95 here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1995-D-Linc...ht_46wt_1178 The reason I am asking the question is that most "BIE" errors with the "I" between any 2 letters in LIBERTY seem to have what looks like a full Cud occupying the entire space between the 2 letters. This coin has what looks more like an "I". Pete Report this Post to the Staff
DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 05/05/2013 08:49 am A "BIE" error is the result of a die chip between the letters leaving raised metal. Your coin is not. I can't tell for sure but might be a die gouge but most likely just die wear. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/06/2013 05:38 am It's not a BIE. Cuds always include the rim. BIE's do not have to only be between the B & E. BIE's are caused by a die chip. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
