I have been looking through change for errors recently and have been finding many BIE errors and die chips and I am wondering where I could go to sell some of them. I always use ebay but I don't know if ebay would be the best audience for errors.

BIEs and die chips are not high-dollar items. ebay is your best option - I doubt that a LCS would give you much over face value unless it was spectacular.

Try bundling some coins together and sell as a group (a lot) on ebay - It will save a lot of time over selling single coins.

ebay is your best option or maybe a local coin club. FYI: die chips are not errors,they are just part of the minting process...dies wear out.

As mentioned, see if there is a local coin club or coin show in your area. Someone there may be interested in them.

eBay. They are cheap so you may have to do a lot with a number of coins to make it worth while.

The sad reality is that die chips are common, and except for a few spectacular ones (and even then they need a PR program), have minimal value.

Drooling George is cute, but it's a common weakness in the new obverse die.
