1957 D BIE/date?

Seen the BIE variety but have never seen one in the date. Is this legit and is that also a die chip above the number 1?
Thanks again

Just a die chip on the 9 and possibly a small one above the 1. Nothing out of the ordinary.

 

It is called a BIE because that's what it looks like LIBIERTY.. It's considered an IDB - Interior Die Break. So is the Die Chip on the 9.
Your getting there

 

Here is an example from my collection
It also has a Die Chip on the 9

 

And, here is a "Plugged 8" that I call "Lincoln's Purse".

Awesome coin paddyman. Read online that die chips were somewhat of an issue in 50's but wasn't sure as to varieties or if even considered a variety.
Thanks everyone.

 

They aren't varieties. Varieties are catalogued and assigned numbers. Errors are not.

Correct.. They are Mint Errors. But there are a variety of BIE's

That "plugged 8" is awesome. I love a good die chip! I have a few Ive kept but none look so perfect and complete like that.

 

Cool coin cpm9ball, looks like one of those weights people sometimes use to tone arms by lifting or swinging at the gym. See them through window as I was heading to go pick up a dozen donuts from Krispy Kremes...

 

Sorry, you youngins may not know of this. I couldnt resist "I'd buy that for a dollar"!

 

Hey Bargain...you know where thats from right? Me being born in down river Detroit and in like 2nd grade when that came out. Its kind of creepy weird by todays standards.

 

Lol...Idk, my boys liked the movie as did I. I believe the original phrase came out in the 1950's and SNES Smash TV game had it but not sure.
