Here are a few that I have, I'm pretty sure they have no value at all, but who knows? Maybe there's a variety of die chip I have that may be considered "cool." Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73919 Posts	Posted 03/23/2019 7:18 pm People will buy the "BIE" Die Chips and sometimes the filled numbers in the date. The "BIEs" do carry a very small premium of 2 dollars. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 03/23/2019 7:32 pm Oh alright, good to know, is the 1955 a BIE die chip? It does seem to be but I'm not good at these things. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/23/2019 7:33 pm Wow. A 1958 LMCs. (Lincoln-Memorial-Cent) LOL On the 1950's Wheat cents the die chips are very common on them as they over used the dies at that time. Thus using the dies, until they died.

SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 03/23/2019 7:51 pm Um sorry? @Coop? What do you mean 1958 LMC? That picture was just a LWC 1958? Really confused right now what your trying to say Coop. And thanks EV! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 03/23/2019 8:26 pm @SC, a small technical point, but when the coin has an entire area filled in by extra metal (like the top part of the number 8 on your '58 D cents), we say that the die had a broken post rather than calling it a die chip.
