What type of error is this? 1955-s Lincoln

See attached image, see obverse between the B & E of liberty and on the reverse, a blodb on the right hand wheat stalk.

That is refered to as a "BIE" error. it is actually just a die chip but it was common over several years. It was once quite collectable but people have come to realize it is just another die chip.

Thanks for the input. There might be something going on with the MM as well, here's a link to a high res image, best that I can do:

Just a die chip, they were very popular in the sixties the BIE error. I have a million of them.:bigeyes:

Much more popular in the '50's, look for the 1957 BIE error with die chips in the date. Now those I have a bunch of.

 

great pictures..what kind of camera areyou using?

 

Canon EOS Rebel XT 35mm DSLR, 6.3 MP. I need a macro lens for this error stuff though. The camera is better than the photographer. I'm thinking of picking up a Pentax 12MP

 

Excellent!!!
