Is this a LII, IIB, BIE, EIR, or RIT. what would this be called? Just multiple errors, I guess?

I love that reply now I want to take a pack of fileted crappie out and fry them. Thanks for the suggestion.

That's the first thing that came to mind.

I have plenty like this, 1960d-LDB5L+
Also know as "Skirted R"

there is some MD going on there as well, but I would stick to the major LDB5L+ and diss the small chip on 2 3 4

If them are all chips, if it was listed it would be LDB2345671960D001.

Looks like these dies were heavily polished.

Chips for sure, don't think it qualifies as a BIE.

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.

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.

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
