    Here is a 1955 cent with what looks like a bI/greaseE error.

    Cheers!

    I agree with Kentucky,
    Die Chips will give you excess metal. Debris Filled Dies will give you less,
    Making the design weak or missing.

    Definitely a BIE Cent. Common occurrence on Cents struck in the 50's and 60's
