grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 08/20/2023 8:44 pm Quote: lots of chips here too. I will state that I did google what actually is a BIE error and all I found so far is that it is a form of a die chip. When it occurs between the B and E on a Lincoln Cent then it's referred as a BIE error. Others on the forum state that Bie is any event that happens in the letters of LIBERTY on a Lincoln Cent and not necessarily between the B and E. What I am interested in is what actually happens when a BIE occurs. Does part of the die break and allows the copper to bleed in the hole? I will research some more but a quick explanation would be helpful. Report this Post to the Staff

A "BIE" is a die break "chip" between the letters of LIBERTY on a Lincoln Cent, as the Die begins to wear down the cavities of devices can chip away and cracks occur between devices set close to one another within narrow interstices. When a metal Chips off of a Die the metal of the Planchete fills in that void. and becomes raised as the Design elements are. Here is a great read on this subject. https://cuds-on-coins.com/die-chips/ Report this Post to the Staff

Here are photos of 4 different possible bie errors. Theonly reason I am even posting these is because they are from 1964-D BU Lincoln rolls and the last time I checked cuds-on-coins had zero (0) listed for the 1964-D Lincoln Cent. For a serious BIE collector, he or she may be willing to pay 3 or 4 dollars to have a bie that no one has Edited by grospoisson 08/21/2023 12:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
