    Have you ever seen a Lincoln Wheat with a BIEI ? I found it this morning but in my infinite giddiness I pitched it back in the bucket! But a double die chip for sure. It will surface again

    That is not the OP's Cent

    The OP wants to know if there is such a thing as a BIEIR.. That is a break between the B and E and also between the E and R

    It is possible but the OP hasn't provided a picture.

    as I said it got mixed back in the bucket in my late night stupor. And yes @paddyman98 the chips were between the BE and the ER. Twas only a question, Now seeing @Newbie69 post and quoting CONECA again (if I dare) "BIE die break
    This is a sub-category of the die break affecting the letters of LIBERTY on the Lincoln cent. Technically, only a die break between BE of LIBERTY qualifies as a BIE. Generically speaking, however, a die break between any of the letters of LIBERTY qualifies. This variety was termed the “BIE” because that is where the vast majority of die breaks occur. This area of collecting was again the rage in the 1960s, but waned when the obverse die was modified and there were fewer specimens to collect. However, recent years have seen a new crop of this variety showing up and an increased interest." Now I better get out the xray specs and find that penn! And of course more thanks to @paddyman98 for supplying photos of various years and locations on BIE's from his collection in an earlier post.
