CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 05/27/2016 10:18 pm From Cuds on coins: Quote: Die Chips Definition: A small piece (less than 4 square millimeters) that falls out of the die face and has no direct connection to the design rim. The missing piece leaves a void in the die face into which coin metal flows. As a result, the coin shows a featureless lump in the affected area. A die chip can be connected to a die crack or it can be freestanding. Die chips frequently develop within narrow interstices in the design, such as the gap between the letters of LIBERTY. Hence the so-called "BIE" errors. There are different types of BIES. A broken post is a Die Chip, and a chip anywhere in LIBERTY is one of them. Ken Potter's book Strike It Rich, says a chip anywhere in LIBERTY other than between the B and E is called an "Associated Bie". Edited by CoinMasters 05/27/2016 10:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff
