    I just got a new BIE listing on COC site. It's a 1994 IIBIE, multiple chip type. Here are the pics I took that are now posted on the COC site:

    I believe this is the first perspective rendering published on the site.

    edited to add: Here's an earlier, larger image of the BIE. This one is not published:

    I think he means Cuds on Coins,
    I was unable to find it though. Maybe it is a dif. website.

    The BIE is not a cud.

    Correct, it's a Die Chip. But the site has much more than cuds.

    Amazing pix! Are you using a digital microscope? Anybody mind telling me what BIE stands for? I assume it has something to do with what looks like pools of melted metal on the surface.

    It's when there is a die chip between the B and the E.

    The term "BIE" is loosely applied to pretty much any anomaly occurring around the letters of LIBERTY. So in this case the coin is a "multiple" die chip type occurring between I and B and between B and E, an LIIBIERTY. But if it were just an LIIBERTY, or maybe an LIBERITY it would still be called a "BIE".

    Not a digital microscope but a Canon DSLR with bellows and microscope objective. Digital microscopes can't come anywhere close to this quality.
