What you see on LIBERTY is an interior die break and is often called a "BIE" because it most often occurs between the B and E and looks like an I. This could be called an "IIB." There is a site where these are catalogued, but I don't see a match to yours there, yet: http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-cent-bies/On the memorial building is a die chip and is the beginning of a larger die break that would then be called a "hornet's nest" because, well, that's what it ends up looking like.

It is a Cud where a portion of the die breaks away. These on Lincoln's in the Liberty section tend to be BIE's, where the Cud happens between the B and E. This one is in a different location which is interesting. Also a nice Cud next to the building. This is a good coin to have in a 2x2 holder. |

Cuds are when the edge of the die breaks away.  Die chips are internal breakaway points. A Cud usually retires the die. Die chips can happen several times and not cause a retirement. So die chips are more common. Cuds are few in number.

Nice "BIE" (die chip) on a copper plated zinc cent. Die chip on reverse too as others have stated. Like coop showed - not Cuds as that involves the coins rim. |

Awesome. Thanks for the replies, great lessons in there. I said to myself from afar it looked like two "I's".
@levels - The date has been corrected
@John - I actually took the full coin pics before I read it here. I've watched a fair amount of YouTube videos stressing the importance of clear photos. Makes it easier to see for those helping.
Excited to see what my next find will be.
