antmark3d Valued Member United States 425 Posts	Posted 12/06/2019 7:43 pm As I understand it, "bie" is a die chip between "b" and the "e". Report this Post to the Staff
Snoopydoo Valued Member United States 443 Posts	Posted 12/06/2019 8:12 pm Just when I thought I had it down as what a BIE is. Thank you so much for your knowledgeable feedback, I'm learning so much! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 12/06/2019 8:24 pm @SD, the filled in letter B is a result of a broken post on the die, while the partly filled in number 9 is more broadly called a die chip.

Finn70 Valued Member United States 247 Posts	Posted 12/06/2019 8:27 pm A 'BIE' is a die break that can be found between any of the letters of "LIBERTY." However, it is most commonly found between the 'B' and 'E' of "LIBERTY." Report this Post to the Staff
