Not sure if this is just a die crack or would be considered a "BIR"-EIR. Thanks for your input.

Looks like a die crack. A "BIE" is a die chip.

I'm not sure that is always the case. Cohen, in his book, list several BIE's he describes as "die cracks". This is listed as a "BIE" and it is a crack. (I think)

I guess I am old school then,that is a die crack to me.The BIE label came about because the "die chip" makes it look like the letter I is in between the B and E.
