These are commonly found on cents of this era. If it carries a premium, I'm guessing it would be small.

It is called a "BIE" and is kinda common. Little if any premium. Congrats on 100 post ,contest time?

Classic BIE die chip, yes. Might be worth 10-25 cents to a crazed collector of BIEs.

They are just die events that happen when they kept using these Wheat cent dies past normal retirement. Because of this odd things continued to to get worse. That is just one of the things that happened as the dies aged. I feel there is no premium for these. It just gives new ones to look for. After a time, they will loose interest in these. They are listed on line, but because of the die breakdown, they will advance more and more until they are finally retired. So the listings will have the same dies listed as they advance in die wear with new identifications added as the dies age.

As mentioned, these are fairly common. I don't think there is a premium for these, sorry.

Common to find in this condition. Might be worth a slight premium to a specialist who collects these - if such a person exists.

BIE pennies are error coins with a vertical die crack between the "B" and "E" of "LIBERTY" on Lincoln cents.These error pennies are among the most common type of die break varieties on Lincoln pennies because it happens as the dies aged and used long past normal retirement as Coop mentioned. Eventually, US Mint workers will replace the die before it becomes too worn. Or they'll only find out the die is past its prime when they notice die cracks and other signs of die wear on the struck coins and then replace the die but the struck coins are released into circulation.

Values vary widely for BIE Lincoln cents — some are worth only a couple dollars, while others are worth hundreds of dollars.But, most commonly, BIE pennies are worth $5 to $10 apiece.

Some collectors put more emphasis on the condition, or grade, of the coin. Others are more concerned with putting together a date run of BIE pennies and will vie for a complete set of Lincoln cents running across an entire decade or longer.Still, other BIE penny collectors will simply amass every type of BIE cent they can find, regardless of date or mintmark. So, at the end of the day, there's no hard-and-fast "book" value on BIE cents. The value is often dependent on the condition, specific variety, and other merits of the individual BIE penny. (And added would be the number of collectors who are currently looking to expand their collection). So they are not valueless, but are common enough finds to where serious collectors may not have interest due to being a common rather than a rare error.
