Here is an interesting Die Chip in LIBERTY. One Book lists this as a "BIE" variety and classifies all BIE varieties as II-F. This particular one is a II-F-5 with a Rarity Level of 3-5. The name of the book is: U S Coin Digest, 11th Edition by Harper and Miller. I know that there are those who would debate the ID of this as a "BIE" since the die chip does not fall between the B and E.    |

I am not aware of a website which attempts to list all the BIEs (supposedly around 1500 varieties). Is anyone?

No , there isn't a site dedicated to them . One gentleman's personal site has his own collection photographed and listed by Cohen #'s.
Incredible photo's including 3d imaging. He also custom builds coin photography rigs for his customers.
I'm not where I can snag a link at the moment

Thanks for the site reference. I saw information elsewhere that the BIE cents were prominent in the 50s - interesting that this site shows them only on 50s cents - unless I did not look far enough. Does that mean they are less common outside the 50s? That seems to be the implication. Thanks for the site reference stoneman!  |

This site is being added to as the coins become available to him . I am looking through my rolls and collection to see if I have anything to help his site. As I said this is his personal site and a work in progress. He would like it to develope into a place others can use for referance.
