That is a "BIE" that you need to check out on Cuds on Coins and a very nice and clean one!! This is the closest one I could find. Here is the one to scroll down to and check out but I think yours is a new one!! LDB4-1956-009B 4FL+. This is the site (http://cuds-on-coins.com/ldb4-1956-2/)
If you can match some markers and tell it's the same.
Realize, they grow. But, nothing will vanish so you might see the same one without the full chip and it may match... but for example if you see one with what looks like part of it plus something not within the area on yours then it can't match. They grow but no chip or part of a chip will heal itself. Example, you see one with half of the bie, it could be the same if it grew, example you see one with half of the bie but it starts lower then it can not be the same since the lower part can not vanish.

I checked all the pics and the closest i could find with a similar marker is (LDB4-1956-002C 4F+) but its larger and not as smooth and the die chip aint in the exact same spot but very very close in the last S of states.
Chips can grow but not move. It can become bigger and cover what was already there but not move as it grows without the original section still being part of it.
So if you mean the location moved then it's different, if it covers more it can be a later example, if it covers less it can be earlier.
Looks like Ed got you going in the right direction and explained it better than I ever could! Did you find the link on the left side of the page for emailing attributions? Link (http://cuds-on-coins.com/attribution...on-what-to-do/) It explains in detail how and what to do. I look forward to seeing what you come up with! That is a really nice looking BIE!
Thank you for letting me know what it was and for the links I had never heard of BIE lol
The site I sent you to is Cuds on Coins and is another good site to just hop on and surf around to see what's out there! You can spend hours and not see it all!
Thank you for letting me know what it was and for the links I had never heard of BIE lol
BIE: A die chip that develops between the B and E of LIBERTY, which often resembles a letter I, hence the name. This particular spot is a weak spot in the die and chronic die over-use in the 1950s produced many of these die chips.
Spend a little time reading through the glossary and acronym lists I have made right here. It will answer a lot of your questions right off the bat.
